Winning requires talent and a cunning strategy that makes use of alliances because the prize pool is $100,000.

At that time I felt as if I was pushed into a place that I never wanted to be in surprisingly learning how to pick up the pieces has left me feeling encouraged with the ones that have also lost a parent. The sense of connection with another person going through the same process has brought me to tears at some moments but also given me a safe place to laugh, relate, and momentum to keep pushing.”
