You may have heard bits and pieces of her Monkey Business on Real Radio 104.1 or XM Radio 152...well now she's ready to share the banana side.

On May 23, 1990, Jana Shelfer's life changed drastically with the blink of an eye. She was the passenger in a minor automobile accident with major consequences. Instantly, her identity went from promising athlete, competitive baton twirler, peppy cheerleader...to paraplegic. After spending the first 7 weeks of that summer flat on her back, adjusting to the rods they inserted on each side of her spine, Jana spent the next two months in a Colorado rehab hospital earning her PhD in life. Learning to get dressed, transferring to the toilet, driving with hand controls...well, those were the least of her worries. Coping with society, focusing on the positive, retaining a sense of humor...those were the real challenges!

Determined to not let these new challenges keep her down, Jana continues to do the things she loves...such as water skiing, scuba diving and hang gliding!

Jana Banana will inspire and motivate you to live a happier and healthier life!

@DanDazzleFlorida ...yep...hang gliders have climbed in thermals, especially out West amid the deserts, to 17,000 (!) feet.

@DanDazzleFlorida ...yep...tandem passengers can request a tow to 5,000 feet. Mitchell maneuvered the glider to catch thermals and ride them up to 6,000 ft. I have been among the trainee pilots at Quest Air,

received aerotow rating, can hardly wait to return and fly again!
