This
past year has seen such huge growth in awareness,
not only for impossible2Possible, but for young people and the impact
that
they individually can have on our planet. Never before has my belief
that we are all capable of the extraordinary been proven with such
intensity. So may great stories of inspiration and dedication from our
youth, volunteers and our dedicated supporters. i2P is managing to bring
people together globally and bring them together under the power of
spirit,
generosity and strength, all of which are signs of the current love we
have for something
in our lives that is challenging, something that is socially responsible
and something that we can be inspired by and then go forth and inspire
others with. It's amazing. Supporting youth to come together as a
team, real or virtual, to work together and
support each other emotionally, mentally and even physically...is what
impossible2Possible
is.
Supporting each other and learning, achieving, inspiring as a team...all to make a
difference. Again, amazing!
Some additional events that were pretty awesome, which took place over the past year were having the opportunity to
deliver a Keynote Speech to The University of Ottawa from 3000 Ft in the
Andes Mountains and the first issue of our i2P Newsletter . Both are
fantastic methods, using today's technology, for spreading this driving passion we all have for education and adventure.
I’m so excited about the years ahead and all the great adventures and opportunities for empowerment that are
being put into place. Our youth, in the classroom and out
in the world, are going to be presented with opportunities beyond
their greatest expectations. Opportunities to challenge themselves and
their peers to make a
huge difference socially, as well as individually, all with the power of
their own amazing abilities and some guidance from the i2P Team. I’m
stoked to be there to
support them in these life changing adventures and to travel the globe
with them and face, head-on, the issues that are important to us all.
Continuing to offer youth this opportunity to realize that everyone can
achieve what may seem impossible is my greatest passion – we
are
all
capable of the extraordinary! Seeing that moment on a young person’s
face, when they come to this realization for the first time, is the
power that fuels me! When I'm somewhere like the south pole where it's
-65 degrees Celsius and the winds are enough to crumble you, or in the
Death Valley where the temps are enough to melt the soles of your shoes, with ironically the
same crippling winds...it's the knowledge that we are seeing youth all
over the globe accomplish extraordinary things an push themselves
mentally and physically beyond all boundaries, that pushes me through
thinking 'I can't take another step'!
