Lyceum Series: Jennifer Pharr Davis - Turning Moxie into Memories on the AT
Friday, May 11th 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Writer, hiker, and nominee for 2012 National Geographic's Adventurer of the Year, Jennifer Pharr Davis has hiked the Appalachian Trail three times and in 2011 broke the overall speed record for completion of the trail, shaving 26 hours off the total time. After being struck by lightning, having her eyes freeze shut in a snowstorm, and facing tremendous challenge on her first trip, Davis felt a connection that drew her back to the trail again and again. Hear her stories about planning, her hiking, and the growth that comes with chasing a dream.
The word “lyceum” has roots in ancient Greek, and became the name of the school where Aristotle taught. At CVNP, we use it to describe our lecture series featuring national speakers who stimulate the heart and mind with compelling stories of our natural and cultural world.
