Hey everyone! I’m so excited to share a huge adventure with you. On April 4th & 5th, I’ll be setting out on the Ice Age Trail, a 1,000+ mile trek across Wisconsin. This journey isn’t just about hiking—it’s about overcoming adversity, reclaiming dignity, and showing what’s possible for those who have faced physical challenges. Many of you know my story—losing my leg, battling heart disease, and working my way back to health through holistic living and sheer determination. This hike represents more than just miles—it’s a statement that no matter what life throws at us, we can keep moving forward. Support & Gratitude 🙌 I’m incredibly grateful to those who have already supported this mission: 💙 Jeff Bunch for his generous FreeFunder donation 🎙️ Mike Bolland for having me on the We’re Not Stumped podcast 📰 Ben Singson for featuring my journey in the Jacksonville Journal Courier 🎙️ Rick Bontkowski for the podcast feature Also, a huge thank you to Atlas Bars for fueling my journey with their incredible high-protein bars! Their belief in my mission means so much. Why This Matters to You Many of us here in this community are navigating big life transitions, health challenges, and personal growth. This hike is a symbol of how we can take control of our health, rebuild our strength, and refuse to be defined by limitations. I want to bring you along on this journey—not just through updates, but by sharing insights on resilience, mindset shifts, and holistic strategies that help us keep going.
