Every Gift Matters
We all give to those in need at some point in our lives. Through touching anecdotes and advice, Every Gift Matters will show you how to leverage your gift of time or money—regardless of size—and make it work harder, work smarter, and have a bigger impact on your community. Guided by the belief that every person has the opportunity to make a difference, this book encourages you to find your own passion to change the world. Every Gift Matters was the winner of the Next Generation Indie Book Awards and is an Amazon best seller. One hundred percent of the proceeds are donated to charity every year.
The Spirit of the Trail
In 2017, Carrie and John Morgridge took a two-month break from their philanthropic work and tackled what is considered to be the most challenging bike route in North America. In The Spirit of the Trail, they chronicle the grueling Great Divide Mountain Bike Route from the Canadian Rockies, into the Grizzly filled woods of Montana, across the plains of Wyoming, up to 11,910 above sea level in Colorado, and through the mountains and flood plains of New Mexico. As Carrie recounts each challenging day, she reveals their triumphs and fears, their struggles for food and water, and how their physical and mental strengths were pushed to the limits. But her most important takeaway is that people are kind, small towns are wonderful, and when you set your mind to it, you too can achieve anything.
