Meet the Crew - Val - Ep. 6
On this episode of the Osborne Adventure Podcast, we introduce you to Val, a remarkable member of our crew and the mother of our children. Join us as we share insights into her life and the diverse experiences that have shaped her.

Val and I share an unexpected experience after being invited to an elementary school assembly where 300 students gathered for a presentation about Down syndrome led by a fourth grader named Hailey. What followed were thoughtful questions, funny moments, and a firsthand look at how deeply kids connected with our family, our mission, and the idea of adventure without limits.
