Dana's Grand Canyon Rim-To-Rim Hike

This week I had to get a little creative. I was on vacation which meant I had no access to a gym and no weight training. Despite that I still managed to walk a total of 12 miles for the week and I felt accomplished! I started each day with a peaceful 3 mile walk, capturing beautiful sunrise photos along the way. I was proud of myself for making the effort. After all I was on vacation!

I’m looking ahead – just about two and a half weeks left until the big hike! I’m second guessing my training and wondering if I’ve done enough to prepare but at this point, it is what it is. Plenty of people tackle it without perfect prep, and I know I can do it too.

Ataxia fact of the week:

Did you know that there are support groups for people living with Ataxia? These groups offer a chance to connect with others who truly understand the experience. The power is in the shared stories, the sense of community, and the meaningful connections formed. Knowing you are not alone makes all the difference.
