Hi.

Well, Sophie went on an adventure the summer of 2024.

She climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, and she was 29 at the time.

She was a public health policy analyst in D.C.

and took a leave, went on this wild adventure, went to Thailand for a month,

hiked a bunch of the national parks in the U.S.

because she wanted to go to all of them.

And she came back and said she was having anxiety for the first time ever and sleeplessness.

And this is someone who'd never had, just moved really easily in the world, kind of a big personality, very socially able.

And she'd had some others.

She was losing hair and losing muscle mass.

And so me and her dad basically said, OK, we've got to figure this out.

Is this a mental health problem that's

causing some hormonal dysregulation or vice versa.

So we were in the process of getting her help in all the different ways.

She was seeing a therapist.

We were trying to get in with this endocrinology clinic.

And she couldn't wait, clearly.

And she took an Uber to a falls near where we live in Ithaca, and she slit her throat and threw herself into the water.

So the first six months were just the why, you know?
