I am an outdoor enthusiast striving to complete Colorado’s 14ers. Through this endeavor I met Tristen Smith and we began making our way through Colorado’s peaks. He introduced me to the Pike’s Peak Challenge in 2017. He had had a group foe several years climbing in honor of his brother Chad who is a TBI survivor. This cause is also special to me as a recreational enthusiast with multiple concussions and as a physical therapist having worked with persons with TBI in the past. I look forward to participating in the BIAC Pike’s Peak Challenge again this year and thank everyone who is supportive!
