    A Story of Resilience

    An unexpected blackout within the midst of Nationals, and later, a serious health condition forcibly removing him from his ability to run.  In the final episode of RawRunner’s FIRST Chicago chapter, Spencer Neblett talks about family comparisons, and how a self perceived need to do well crumbles after succumbing to a health condition that took his ability to engage in the talent that put him apart from his siblings-running. Join us and discover how resilience doesn’t always mean healthy coping mechanisms are in place or security is present, but rather how a resilient attitude and the belief that things will work out often brings us back to who we are.

    A Deep Dive Into Grief

    Cumulative Grief, the experience of multiple losses in a short period of time. Grief is personal. Grief is fluid. Chiming in and out of spaces that ask you to be malleable is part of the healing process. Dylan’s passion for wildlife conservation and caring for exotic animals translates to a strong bond and relationship between the animal and their caretaker. Stronger empathy, love and understanding for those that don’t have a voice and for those around. “If my experience can resonate with a handful of people and help them then it will all be worth it”, as Dylan (@dylanprojansky) shares how he came out stronger through openness and vulnerability.
