Biographical Information

Brenna Huckaby grew up in Louisiana as a competitive gymnast, but after dealing with lingering knee pain, she was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a rare bone cancer, and had her right leg amputated at age 14. Shortly after, Huckaby was first introduced to snowboarding on a rehabilitation trip to Utah.

Huckaby made her Paralympic debut in 2018 and won double gold at the Paralympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018 in snowboard cross and banked slalom. Before the Winter Paralympic Games Beijing 2022, the IPC cut the events she won in PyeongChang in women's Para snowboarding opting to focus on an event geared towards less impaired athletes.

A leading voice in disability advocacy, Huckaby orchestrated a multi-faceted inclusivity campaign in the lead-up to the Beijing 2022, for which she earned the right to compete in medal events initially limited to less impaired athletes. Huckaby went on to win gold and bronze at the Beijing Games and continues to advocate for increased disability representation and inclusion in all areas of society. 

Off the snow, she loves spending time with her husband and two daughters. They snowboard in the winter and mountain bike in the summer together as a family.
