Review for Project Athena Foundation, San Diego, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I was on the amazing Grand Canyon hike in September 2013. Mere words cannot convey how phenomenal this experience was. At oh-dark-thirty on the south rim, as we were gathered to start our hike, Robyn paid tribute to Sara Jones. Sara had hoped to be an Athena on our hike, but she had lost her battle with breast cancer earlier in the year. She was only 40 years old. There was not a dry eye out there in the dark that morning, and as Robyn spoke of Sara, a shooting star streaked across the sky. It was magical, and still gives me goosebumps every time I think or speak of it. Sara's spirit was with us on our journey.
The work that Project Athena Foundation does is so important, and I am so proud to have played a small part in supporting the dreams of the amazing survivors who have benefited and will benefit from this organization's mission.
