Since September of 2022 I've been on what is truly only the beginning of a fantastic journey. This journey is centered on one basic principle, better me inside better me outside. It has been, and continues to be, an amazing journey of education, health, fitness, pain, recovery, growth, and accomplishments
The next phase of my journey is one which I have thought about for many years. In honor of my late father, retired USAF MSgt Wayne Willard who battled with lung disease for many years and through Stage III lung cancer.
I am going to summit Mt Hood in his honor and in support of the American Lung Association on the 2024 Climb for Clean Air and I'm offering you the opportunity to come along and join the journey and support.
So please join me in honoring my father and supporting the ALA and their mission.
