**MEMBER SPOTLIGHT**
Meet Faith Willoughby Faulkner Oberg! From the moment she became part of the team in March of 2020, Faith has jumped in with both feet responding to calls and volunteering her personal time to write grants for #pocosar along with becoming Secretary, Treasurer and a member of the Social Media team. Faith has taken her role so seriously that she lost 40lbs after joining and hikes as often as possible to not only stay in excellent shape but to be familiar with the trails so that she will not be the one being rescued. She retired from East KY Power Cooperative after 29 years which meant she now had the time to do what she loves. Explore the world and follow in her dad's footsteps by rescuing people in the Red River Gorge. Although he isn't here to see all that she has accomplished with the team, we know her dad would be so very proud of her. Faith's favorite quote is 'Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but the moments that take your breath away'. This helps explain her love of traveling, arch hunting, camping, photography and making memories with her husband, kids, and grandkids. Her favorite trails in the gorge are Rough Trail and Indian Staircase. When asked if she had any hiking tips, she said, 'Learn to use the GAIA app. But also pack a real map, a good flashlight and a phone battery backup'. Thank you, Faith, for all you do for the team! ... See MoreSee Less
