Ep. 38 Dana

Kia Ora and welcome to episode thirty eight. In this episode I introduce you to Dana. Dana and Jason were married young and had five children. They were best friends and worked like yin and yang together. Jason was a lover of the outdoors and mountain biked whenever he could. He was full of lots of ideas to make biking better, in the community. He started a website, then had a crazy idea to make a yearly challenge to bike around 230 miles of trails for ‘fun’. Jason’s life was cut short before he could put it out there himself. Dana and Jason’s friends decided to go for it and started what we know as the ‘Boise Trails Challenge’ in memory of Jason and it’s been going ever since. Jason’s presence is still felt around the Boise community and Dana shares with us what her life was like before and after Jason’s passing. Her insights are informative, raw, educational and emotional. I look forward to you being able to get to know Dana and her story and to learn from what she’s learned, being thrust into a life and situation that she never asked for or expected.
