Reason for Existence

Life is about stories. Your life; your story. But can you live the story you want? You’ve always wanted to try snowboarding, but you can barely make it out to your car in the morning. Or maybe you love watching mountain biking videos on Youtube, but your bike is hanging from the garage ceiling, where you put it two years ago. Maybe you heard about an opportunity to help install a well for a remote village, but you’re not sure you can make the trek from where the road ends.
