Walk Away From Stress
After the death of my mom at 62 from breast cancer, separation from my husband, childless at almost 40 and surviving an abusive online dating experience, it was safe to say I was depressed and content to become a permanent part of the flooring. Instead I decided to get up off the floor, call the mobile crisis line and get out of the house.
I joined an Outdoor Enthusiast group and signed up for a trip of a lifetime – a Charity Challenge Trek to Machu Picchu for the Arthritis Society. Forget couch to 5k! Try floor to 5 day trek in the mountains of Peru dedicated to my mom and other special people in my life. Find out how staying active with Urban Poling can help you with managing stress and feeling rejuvenated.
