I knew that if I could just embrace the difficulty and move forward, we would be OK. There was no other way to get through it. So you lean into it. You embrace it. The difficulty becomes your new normal and you find joy there. And then you get to the top. You breath. And you’re stronger for the journey. That’s what “Embracing the Hill” is all about. As with anything that seems impossible often times, when you lean into it, and when you learn to embrace it you gain the power to conquer it.

Now Jack is a healthy and happy little boy, but we are trying to give back to families that face difficulty just like ours. Putting my favorite running mantra onto t-shirts proved to be a the perfect way to give back to the hospital that gave us so much: a healthy son. Which is why 10% of all proceeds go directly to the Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth-Hitchcock, the hospital where Jack received care.
