Allison Burch | Local Outdoor Mom Found on Instagram

When I think of my legacy, I think of my family. I think about how my husband and I are raising our kids, what kind of humans they’re being molded into, and what they’re going to become when set free into the community.

Angela Fuller | Fitness Instructor, Gymnast & American Ninja Warrior

I hope people remember me as someone who refused to give up, even when faced with challenges that seemed insurmountable, from a debilitating back injury to postpartum depression. My journey from chronic pain and emotional struggle to becoming a 44-year-old competitive adult gymnast and a participant on American Ninja Warrior embodies my belief that it’s never too late to reclaim your life and passions.
