The Next Chapter Begins…

Every challenge I have taken on has pushed me further, not just across miles but deep into the heart of what is possible. This time it feels different. It is not about one epic moment. It is about showing up every single day, no matter what.

It is about discipline when motivation fades.

It is about courage when comfort calls.

It is about doing something that demands everything.

Something incredible is on the horizon. And it starts with one step.
