Why We Write

"When I look back at what shaped AFA & this movement, they were bold actions that lead to miracle moments. A bike ride. A mountain summit. A breakthrough. A conversation that reminded someone they weren’t alone.

It’s around the campfire, out in nature, with open hearts that we reflect, remember, & reconnect—not just with each other, but with the deeper truths that keep us & this incredible mission moving forward."

Chase Pettey, Founder
