You never know when your life is about to take a turn. Great news comes in the mail. A call comes in the middle of the night. You wake to planes crashing into high rises. Some news is good and some news is bad.
And in between life goes on. You do your runs or swims. You hike or bike. Those miles add up for your personal health, both mind and body.
The Adkins family found themselves at such a point. Their son Kevin died at age 18. The family made the turn and made the hiking mileage about something more than just fitness.
I encourage you to read their story of a journey from Arizona to Montana. A journey to save lives. Or as Barry Adkins says, "something very good will come from this".
