Sarah Funderburg – Belvidere, IL
“I learned that your own willpower and motivation can take you great places and that I’m stronger than I ever thought I was.”

“We had a hard climb one day, but once we made it to the top and looked around 360 degrees at the natural beauty, I felt insignificant compared to what beautiful sights surrounded me.

Katherine Haroldson – New Bern, NC
