Come hear the story of two ordinary women on an extraordinary journey. Two 50 year old plus women started walking the sidewalks of Keene and ended up climbing the 67 4,000 footers in New England.
Hiking has taught them that much of life's joy comes from shared experience. During this journey Nancy Sporborg and Pat Piper wondered what it would be like to help others do what they had done - cheerlead and coach others on their journeys through fitness to the mountain summit and self-discovery.
Check back for more events as the schedule of events develops for this year's Monadnock Rotary Wellness Festival.
