Darcy Gaechter: Overcoming Obstacles to "Do the Undoable"

description

In this video, Darcy Gaechter, the first woman to kayak the Amazon River from source to sea, shares how she overcame obstacles to "do the undoable." We all face challenges that we think are insurmountable. According to Darcy, we must start with an unwavering belief that we can do it, no matter what anyone else says. Throughout Darcy's entire life, people have told her she can't do the things she likes to because she's too little, too short, or a woman. But she never let this commentary stop her.
