Congratulations, Hil!

Meet the Spring “Live Your Big” Awardee

This month, Hil was awarded $500 through our “Live Your Big” scholarship program. She will be taking a once-in-a-lifetime women’s trip to Yosemite in California!

In her words:
"I wasn’t able to fly after my brain injury for almost 11 years, but in October 2025, I was cleared to fly. It feels like my world is open again. I have made good friends from some brain injury groups, and now to have the opportunity to join an incredible women's group—but this time it isn’t defined by my injury.

I’ve been feeling like I’ve transitioned from brain injury girl to mountain woman, from a journey of recovery to a journey of discovery, and this trip just feels right. Right time. Right group. Right experience."

Hil’s trip will take place in August 2026, and she will report back about her experience then!
