Adventuring is Different Now: How To Find a Path Forward When Your Body Changes
Please join AdventurUs, SheJumps, and Between Evergreens, for the fourth annual Bend Women’s Speaker Series – “Empowering Women Through Adventure” at Embark Coworking Community.
For our final 2026 Speaker Series we welcome back a previous speaker, local triple crown thru-hiker Renee “She-ra” Patrick. In late 2024, Renee was diagnosed with advanced cancer that left her in a wheelchair and unable to carry a backpack due to extensive neck and spine damage. Now in remission and walking again, Renee is exploring how to continue hiking and adventuring in a body that has dramatically changed.
