Be Brave! Climb your Mountain! and April Miles

Hi All, This is Cathy (Ali's Sister)


This month Ali has a bit of a  hill to climb as she will be admitted to the hospital for the stem cell transplant next week.   I asked Ali if she had a thought for the those participating in the Miles for Ali (50K Ali's way)  and she shared this challenge...

Do something or try something that you have never done before.  Go outside your comfort zone and try something that is hard for you.  

A friend shared this thought for Ali in an email:
"Most of us try to avoid hills, but what's so good about flat?  Think about it:  flat tires, flat hair, flat returns and --the ultimate--flat lining.  Life happens on the hills.  They're opportunities to prove to yourself that you're stronger than you ever imagined.  If you never attempt the ascent, you'll never know the thrill of swooshing down the other side."

Since we don't want 2 blog posts in a row without pictures, here is something to get you thinking about your own mountains:   Mt. Borah, Idaho's tallest peak.

Here's a view looking down  from the top:

So, I would encourage you all to take Ali up on her challenge.  Be Brave!  Go Climb Your Mountain! Do something hard and go outside your comfort zone.
