Half-Chaps, Helmet, and Heart: The Gift of Global Connection 🌍❤️ Rachel Monaco has been #HAMMERING since 2015. Her journey has taken her around the world, exploring incredible places and forming unforgettable connections! She recently shared an amazing story about her life on the move and how Hammer has been part of the adventure from the very beginning. Here’s a small snippet from her piece, but trust us, you’ll want to read the whole story. Link in bio🔗 "I didn’t set out to represent anything. I just wanted to keep moving — to enjoy ultrarunning, see more of the world, and stay in motion long enough to find my footing after my husband Corey died of pancreatic cancer at 45. His illness and death unfolded in just four heartbreaking, “love with everything you’ve got” months, ending our 30-year journey together. As I wandered solo, I found myself meeting people—athletes of every age, ability level, and background — whose stories reminded me why sport is such a beautiful universal language, and that most people face hard times in this life, yet remain determined to keep showing up. When I started taking myself seriously as the ambassador Hammer invited me to be, others did too. Since 2023, I’ve cycled point-to-point through rural villages along India’s Malabar Coast and similar stretches of Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. In 2024, I let other legs do the work — horses (also one camel, one elephant) — through equestrian treks in Crete and North Africa. I ran and hiked whenever I could, and what surprised me was how much curiosity and conversation I sparked along the way, especially wearing Hammer gear." #HOWIHAMMER #FUELRIGHTFEELGREAT #HAMMERNUTRITIONGLOBA
