マーモットさんのインスタグラム写真 - (マーモットInstagram)「Marmot Club Ambassador: Chad Brown @_chadbrown_ I am a decorated US Navy veteran who received multiple honors after serving in Desert Storm Gulf War and Operation Restore Hope, Somalia, struggles today with PTSD. The illness nearly drove me to suicide before he found solace in fly fishing. My discovery of nature as medicine inspired me to launch Soul River, Inc., a nonprofit that aims to share the healing power of rivers with veterans and inner-city youth. My hope with @SoulRiverInc is that it encourages youth participants to grow and become ambassadors of our natural environment. SRI uplifts and strengthens communities by connecting inner city youth and veterans to the outdoors, harnessing incredible opportunities and powerful experiences that forge strong connections between youth and veterans, their communities, and the natural world. Spending time embraced in currents of river water, trekking majestic forested trails, and witnessing a bald eagle or elk in its habitat is healing. Connecting with nature is a powerful outlet to reduce stress, it helps focus, sharpens self-awareness, embraces spirituality, and develops positive values that are beneficial to both the individual and the community. Soul River unites youth and veterans on challenging yet rewarding adventures at zero cost for the participants where they become part of something bigger than themselves, developing into strong leaders in the outdoors and in their communities. I am captivated by uncovering the untapped in how we are connecting to nature, advocating for marginalized voices, wild spaces and indigenous communities that need to be heard and celebrated through visual story telling. #marmotclubambassador」6月26日 5時10分
