How many times in life have you been willing to commit to doing something that you didn’t know the outcome? I’m talking about committing to a project that you didn’t know if you could handle. A deadline that would stretch you so thin you risked failure.

It’s not that we don’t love red hats and celebrating climbing the vertical feet of Mount Everest. It’s that we recognize a finish line doesn’t define anyone. In fact, some of the most powerful lessons we’ve learned over the years aren’t from participants donning red bibs and hats. They are the lessons we’re taught by the people who are willing to push forward despite no hope for an Everest summit.
Meg Louvin has never worn red in her two times on the mountain. She doesn’t know what it feels like to crest the mountain on her final lap. What Meg does know just might be more powerful....that 29029 is not just about Everest, it's about all the summits in between.
