On September 9th, we hosted our second Stories from the Summit with Dan Cnossen, U.S. Navy SEAL, Paralympic Athlete, and One Summit Mentor. The life lessons Dan Cnossen can teach are endless, each tied to a profoundly transformative experience he’s had in his own life. Our One Summit community of mentors, little warriors, board members, families, and students from Villanova and Holy Cross came together to hear Dan’s story of resilience. It was an evening of informative and engaging discussion about his life, including his Paralympic journey. Everyone walked away feeling inspired and ready to conquer life’s challenges.
