Welcome to my journey with Neurofibromatosis type 2, known as NF2, a genetic mutation which causes numerous tumors to grow within my brain and spine. Since 2004, I have undergone radiosurgery and 3 brain surgeries for 7 brain tumors. Life with NF2 is definitely a test of faith and a challenge to keep positive. Join me on my harrowing adventure to keep active and live life to the fullest!

Conquering the terrain!
Here are a few pics of the mountain pass trail I hiked on Wednesday with cancer survivor friends. Looking back at the photos I am really amazed that I accomplished this. It is definitely a remarkable gift from God that I prayed for and thanked the entire hike and there after. Let's hope there are many more hikes like this to come! What a dream!
Location - Snow Lake in Snoqualmie Pass

Way to go, Beck! I love that feeling of simultaneously feeling extremely humbled and exhilarated. Awesome!
Thanks! I totally had one of those day yesterday too! I did my 6th solo hike of the season of 14 I have completed. I hiked a local mountain over 4000 feet and scrambled up rocks the last 50 feet or so to see the fantastic views of Mt. Rainier and the panorama of the Cascades. I was filled with complete gratitude of this accomplishment and satisfaction combined with euphoria on the way down. Surely I forged new brain pathways from the experience!
