The Summit That Saved a Veteran

from Bristol News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

After nearly losing everything — his best friend, parents, and his own life — Army veteran Lee Rackham found hope not in therapy or medication, but on the summit of Pen y Fan. Diagnosed with PTSD in 2013, he’d been drowning in grief and guilt while caring for his ill son, even attempting suicide. But a solo climb last November changed everything. As dawn broke and strangers cheered him on, Rackham felt his life turn around. He now urges anyone struggling: what do you have to lose? Step out of your comfort zone — even if you’re weak — because better days rise after storms. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
