This is Laura's story about living her passion.

"I've always been one to live my life through passion – through filling my days with things that make them enjoyable and meaningful. I believe that we're capable of having a huge impact on the kind of energy we give off to the people around us every day, and my hope is that through my personal journey and my own example I will be able to inspire others to reach for their dreams and make them come true."

Laura is a 27-year-old physiotherapist, coaching entrepreneur and co-owner of CrossFit Lahti. She has competed in CrossFit and her best achievements include 3rd place in Karjalan Kovin in 2018 and a spot in CrossFit Lowlands Throwdown Sanctionals competition in 2019.

2020, despite its challenges, has been one of the most significant years of Laura's life. She returned to the sport she loves the most, and  realised the biggest dream of her life so far – she bought her own horse, who she hopes will one day become a show jumper.

"And that is what life is at its best – to dare, to reach for your dreams and the adventure on your road towards them."
