In Native American culture, bears represent warrior spirit; the courage to persevere; and physical and emotional healing — all of which inspire us to move forward. To me, soft, cuddly bears also represent the comfort that many of us need when facing challenges. We are reminded to keep persevering by the characteristics represented by the HobbleJog Bear:
Courage
Strength
Confidence
Determination
Persistence
Optimism
HobbleJog Bears are given to the young people that are benefiting from our program. You can also receive a bear for certain levels of membership or purchase a HobbleJog Bear mascot from our online store for someone you know who needs encouragement.
Whether your challenge is physical, emotional, spiritual, relational—no matter the challenge—with the right outlook and determination, you will continue to move forward in strength and enlightenment. You will reach the finish line.
