"The outcome of this journey for me is a far greater confidence, both in myself, and in the power of a collective group of minds focussed on a goal, to reach solutions that allow us, as a society, to move forward into the future.The other gift that I received, unexpectedly, from my journey was a crystal clear understanding of just how important it is to have a strong network of loved ones. This network supports me to continue with the work that I am passionately committed to" - Karen Weaver
