Stand Together reposted this
On June 1, Rebecca Stowers and I joined a group of amazing Stand Together partners to hike the 23+ mile, rim to rim of the Grand Canyon. It was a long, but rewarding day. To beat the desert heat, we started our trek at 4 am on the north rim where temps were approx 30 degrees. By the time we reached the bottom of the canyon and the Colorado river, the temperature had risen to 108! Billy Sorenson's and Kelsey Sorensen’s passion for bringing people together got us there, and The Phoenix's coaching power got us to the finish. The views were spectacular, and the trek was grueling at times. This hike pushed and tested our limits, both physical and mental, but we all came out the other end stronger together for it. The Phoenix is an incredible organization that harnesses the power of sports and physical activity to create a community for individuals in addiction recovery. Their partnership with Stand Together and the work they do is a powerful testimony of what is possible when you believe in people and their unique and extraordinary potential. We are grateful for the opportunity to meet, hike, and grow with so many amazing individuals.
