“The night of my partner Chumpy’s death, my brother sat next to me and started talking. I only heard two words: ‘sperm retrieval’.”⁠ ⁠ When Ellidy Pullin (@ellidy_) lost her partner, Olympic snowboarder Alex "Chumpy" Pullin, in a shock accident, she had a life-changing decision to make. Just 36 hours after his passing, Ellidy, with the support of his parents, made the quick decision to retrieve his sperm. ⁠ ⁠For Ellidy, it was the right thing to do, despite being viewed as controversial by others.⁠ ⁠ "I like to think if people knew our story, knew how much Chumpy had wanted to have a child and knew how long we’d been trying, they would understand my decision."⁠ ⁠ Read more at the link in bio.⁠ ⁠ Photo: Hannah Sugarman, courtesy of Ellidy Pullin
