Facing Mountains
From Trail Dream to Life Journey: How Cancer Changed the Meaning of Every Mile The Colorado Trail was on my bucket list long before cancer. A 485-mile trek through the breathtaking peaks and wild backcountry of the Rockies-it was the kind of challenge that spoke to my love of nature, endurance, and adventure.
Then came the diagnosis: breast cancer. Suddenly, everything shifted. The trail didn't disappear from my plans-but it changed. It transformed from a physical goal into a deeply personal mission. It became the thing I held onto through the fear, the doctor visits, and the emotional unraveling. It was no longer just about the miles-it was about reclaiming myself.
When I finally set foot on the trail, I wasn't just chasing a dream-I was walking with purpose and into healing. Each step carried the weight of everything I had been through, and with every mile, that weight began to lift. The Colorado Trail and breast cancer challenged me in ways I couldn't have ever imagined, and in doing so, instilled a sense of wholeness, strength, and peace.
This is a story for anyone who's faced the unexpected and come out changed. For the fighters, the hikers, the dreamers-and for anyone who needs to believe that even after life knocks you down, there's still a path forward.
This book was born from a deeply personal journey with the hope that it might offer encouragement and support to others facing their own challenges. After covering the basic costs of bringing it to life, every remaining dollar will be donated to the Pink Ribbon Riders in support of their incredible work towards alleviating the financial burden associated with breast cancer treatment.
