Your message to the outdoor community

Without my mom's encouragment to keep chasing my dreams I would not have gone for them. I'm grateful for having a strong female voice in my life, and thats a product of how my mom brought me up. Appreciate the little moments with people who truly love you, because you never know when those moments will be taken away. Say I love you to all your friends and family, daily.
