10k Miles From Home

Team Purpose: We are embarking on this road trip because we are at a point in our lives where it’s time to make major decisions regarding our paths in life. We want to fulfill our potential but do not know what that will necessarily entail. We want to meet people who have defined their own roads- people who haven’t taken the easy route but have instead followed their dreams. Most importantly, these people have a fire burning for what they do and do it because they love to do it.
