#169: The Heartfelt Story behind a Mother's Dream to Take Her Autistic Son Hiking


Listen Later

One mother's "simple" wish, to take her family hiking would lead to so much more...

"We may never know how the events of today will impact our lives of tomorrow, but isn't that the beautiful thing about life."

Today's episode was made possible in part by the incredible Marjorie Turner Hollman who was featured inside of Episode 133. Marjorie introduced me to today's guest, Lisa Lewis. And the rest is history!


Lisa Louis created HikingAutism.com, a guide for the millions of families like hers with an autistic family member to experience the joy of nature. HikingAutism features more than 170 hikes accompanied by 1,900 stunning nature photos. The outings range from five-mile hikes on Mt. Tam in Marin County to rambles through the streets of San Francisco. The therapeutic power of nature is an undercurrent of Lisa’s weekly Insights blog. Her love of the outdoors stems from a childhood wandering the Adirondack Foothills. Today, she and her family lead other special needs families on hikes in the San Francisco Bay Area.
