COT:
YHC shared Sept 11 story…M made friends with Sept 11 widow while in Jersey. She leaned into the sorrow and fear after losing her husband and the father of her 5 sons. She continues to train service dogs for people with PTSD. Her son who was friends with YHC’s 2.0 works in investment banking in the Financial District of Manhattan….just like his father did. Fear is not defining them. Courage is. Let’s roll.

“Fear is a reaction. Courage is a decision.” -Winston Churchill
