Megan Parker Artist
My dad started taking my brother and I to the mountains to camp in 1988, and then kept bringing us back, with my first hiking summit (the Big Bee Hive in Lake Louise) in 1990 when I was 5 years old. I imagine that choosing to dive into mountain adventures with us was an incredibly bold and weighted decision, given that we both had been diagnosed with a terrifying, incurable pulmonary disease that, at that time, usually meant incredibly short lives filled with profound illness that gradually led to lung failure by our early 20s. True to that narrative, I’d already had many hospital stays for pneumonias when I started hiking… I can’t help but feel incredibly grateful that my parents chose to boldly encourage us to do whatever we could and explore the world the way we wanted, despite the shitty odds we’d been given.
In a beautiful way, I am certain that the reason why my health has done as well as it has is purely because of my motivation to stay as healthy and fit as possible so that I can continue to be able to explore these stunning places.
