Jill Wheatley was a sports teacher whose life changed drastically after sustaining a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). After receiving a misdiagnosis at the beginning of her injury, things took a turn for the worse and her symptoms became more challenging and would lead to serious mental health complications as a result. The recovery seemed insurmountable as she experienced PTSD, loss of vision, eating disorders, and depression. However, even though she went through the darkest times of her life, she was able to find hope. That hope came in the form of a mountain, and Jill was inspired by the idea of climbing mountains and set off for 13 massifs across the world. Her recovery journey is proof that even during our most challenging times, there is always a shimmer of light we can find through our experiences.
