Thirteen paddlers, nine miles of Lake Superior, and one unforgettable journey into the Apostle Islands. We followed music across open water, shared stories around campfires, weathered storms, laughed through the unexpected, and somehow survived one very determined bee. Somewhere between the sore arms, wet gear, and quiet moments on Oak Island, a group of people became a crew—and we were off like a herd of turtles.
Returning to Kilimanjaro With a Bigger Purpose
I’m heading back to Mount Kilimanjaro for my second climb—this time with a bigger purpose. Alongside fellow blinded veterans Aaron Hale and Lonnie Bedwell, I’ll be climbing while documenting the expedition through audio storytelling and adaptive tech that allows me, as someone who is completely blind, to capture video and photos. Blind Endeavors is supporting this mission so the story can reach far beyond the mountain.
