My mission is to re-ignite my childhood dream—taken from me by ulcerative colitis—and turn it into reality through a solo, non-stop circumnavigation of the world. Through Sailing in Hope, I aim to inspire and empower others living with chronic illness to reclaim their own dreams, one wave at a time.
To Inspire Resilience:
I hope to show that, no matter the challenges of living with a chronic illness, it’s possible to pursue dreams and live a fulfilling life.
To Empower Others:
I hope to encourage people to take the helm of their own stories, becoming the leaders of their journey and embracing their inner strength.
To Build a Community:
I hope to connect individuals, families, and professionals who understand the challenges of chronic illness, fostering mutual support and understanding.
To Raise Awareness:
I hope to shed light on the realities of chronic illnesses, breaking down stigmas and starting meaningful conversations.
To Inspire Hope:
Above all, I hope to show that hope is always within reach, and even the stormiest seas can lead to calmer waters.
