I
 ended up joining the YOPN board a little over a year ago, and it’s been
 great. We’re reaching people who want to be active and not sit and wait
 for PD to take everything from them. It’s exhilarating and exciting to 
discover there are a ton of people out there that are experiencing the 
same thing.
