Let me forewarn you, this episode is an emotional one. I was lucky enough to cross paths with Lora Young, a hunter, hiker, adventurer, and total badass, a couple of years ago at the Hunt Expo in SLC. Through the process of getting to know Lora, we chatted a lot about hunting stories, our shared passions, and the mountains of New Zealand, a bucket list hunt for me!
Last summer, Lora found herself circling through a new routine stateside after the dreaded COVID hit and closed down many of our international borders and forcing her to head back home to North Carolina.
Lora shifted and decided to head out to complete some more sections of the Appalachian Trail near her home. Along the way, Lora soaked up the trail, hiked for weeks, did some soul searching, and found something that would change her life forever.
What was meant to be a summer of exploration in the great outdoors turned to a cancer diagnosis, chemo, surgery, and life-altering moments that came when she least suspected it.
Listen in as Lora and I talk about the moments she was diagnosed with breast cancer, how she deals with the process, mentally and physically, and what’s next for her.
You can also head over to our blog to see our exclusive interview with her and soak up more of her positive and faith-filled outlook.
