Changing The Narrative of Outdoors, One Adventure At A Time.
For three years, in a solo effort, with support of family and friends, Ch8sing Waterfalls evolved. In 2020 the need to bring in official backup unfolded into three amazing women who I call my Ch8se Champions. Together we are intentionally changing the narrative of outdoors, one adventure at a time.
Deborah McGlawn
Deborah McGlawn is the founder and creative of Ch8sing Waterfalls. She is a mother, a nanna, a giver, a friend.
She started this movement in 2017; however it's official start began back in 2011 when her husband and best friend Richie introduced her to waterfalls. Deborah's story is one of transparency, resolve, strength and passion. You can read more about her story here.
Deborah enjoys everything outdoors. She embodies versatility and flexibility. She is a marathoner, a kayaker, and she enjoys sewing and embroidery crafts.
Monmouth Falls and Niagra Falls are her top two bucket list places to visit.
She is humbled by the lives impacted by those who have chosen to embr8ce the ch8se with her, especially her ch8se champions.

Rhonda
Stover-Griffin
Rhonda loves to hike and spend time outdoors.
She finds hiking and ch8sing waterfalls to be a great way to connect with nature, decompress and get back to what is important in life.
She loves to meet new people and introduce them to what the outdoors has to offer.
Rhonda believes hiking should be a combination of great cardio, while taking time to enjoy the scenery. Some of her local favorite trails are Kennesaw Mountain, Red Top Mountain, Pine Mountain and Stone Mountain.
Rhonda has enjoyed hiking in Colorado, Tennessee, Alabama, North, and South Carolina. Her favorite waterfall is Dry Falls in North Carolina. Rhonda’s wish is that everyone can see and hear the world through the eyes and ears of the Mountains.
She hopes to see you soon on the trail.
