Sarah's Squad

Back in July, my friend Sarah was involved in a serious mountain biking accident which resulted in more than 13 broken bones, several surgeries, and a month in the hospital. Her spinal injuries alone could have left her paralyzed, but she was determined to move her body and set a goal to walk the 8k in November. At first, she could only walk about 240 feet without having to stop, but last month, Olive and I were so honored to walk all 26,246 feet with her and a whole Wonder Woman entourage. She is the definition of resilience and grit.
