An end of an era…. Papa passed peacefully in his An end of an era…. Papa passed peacefully in his sleep this week. It’s been incredible to reflect on the profound impact he had on our lives. In his 99 + years, we were able to stay so close and share so many special experiences. We will miss his remarkable memory and stories of growing up in Nantucket, flying planes in WWII, living in Japan, finding his way to the mountains of Colorado and skiing until his 90s. Grateful for all the memories we were able to share. We will cherish them forever. 🧡
This week Dr. Jane Goodall came to our valley to s This week Dr. Jane Goodall came to our valley to share her message of hope with the @acesaspen community. It was incredible to see the affect of her stories on students from Glenwood Springs to Aspen. I’m not sure who was more inspired - the educators and adults she touched, or the youth that hung on to her every word. I do know that this message of hope is needed right now and it was empowering to hear her advice of “just do something”. Be a part of the solution, understand your impact, and take action in your community to ensure a more sustainable future for our planet, people, and animals. #capacityforchange #awareness #environmentaleducation #collaboration #dosomething

Two months from today on Nov 5th, I will be lining Two months from today on Nov 5th, I will be lining up for my 3rd NYC Marathon! Hard to believe it's been 16 years since I've run the streets of New York. I'm excited to feel the incredible energy of this race again! This year, I'm honored to be running for the Chris Klug Foundation to help bring awareness to the 104,000 children and adults currently waiting for an organ transplant. I will give it my all out there to raise funds and raise awareness, and would love your help! 100% of all donations made will go towards my $3,500 goal for the Chris Klug Foundation (CKF), and any amount will make a difference. Link to donate in my bio! 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️ Also, remember to double-check that you are registered as an organ donor! An easy way to know if you're on the organ donor registry is to look at your driver's license or state ID card! #donatelife #earnyourheart #makeadifferencetoday
