"Every day, I am reminded that our life's journey is really about the people who touch us."

-Stuart Scott, Every Day I Fight

 

When I first heard about Epic Experience in 2015, I was hesitant to apply. It wasn't because I don't like Colorado or free stuff or playing in the snow. It was partly because I didn't think I needed the push to live beyond cancer; I had already moved on. I was playing softball, working out, and mentoring a high schooler. In addition, I had stuffed many cancer-related feelings deep down, and I wasn't sure I wanted to share said feelings with complete strangers. In the end, the pull of being in the Rockies won, and I attended camp in February-March 2016.
