Another year in the Scottish Highlands for the Cateran YOMP.

Every year I struggle to explain what this event actually is because it’s never really been about hiking.

This year through @robertirvinefoundation we brought nearly 100 Veterans together to do something hard and every year I notice the same thing. Everyone shows up in their own groups, quiet and reserved. Then the miles happen. 

You climb hills together. You get uncomfortable together. You embrace the suck together. And somewhere along the way people start opening up and conversations get deeper.

By the end of it, people who barely knew each other a few days before are sitting around laughing, breaking bread, sharing stories, and making plans to stay connected after they get home.

For me this event has been a reflection point for over 10 years and is actually where I met Robert Irvine.

When I first started doing the YOMP , I didn’t realize how much I needed it. After my injury there was a period where I was trying to figure out who I was again. 

Life changes fast, one moment you think you know exactly where you’re headed, and then something happens and suddenly there’s a split in the road. You don’t always get to choose what happens to you but you do get to choose what you do with it.

Back then this event was healing for me. What I never expected was years later getting to watch that happen for other Veterans.

Watching barriers come down.
Watching friendships form.
Watching people realize they’re not carrying things alone.

There’s something really powerful about doing hard things together.

Grateful for everyone who showed up this year.

Until next year, Scotland.
