Stroll Edinburgh

Meet Natalie Slotwinski, our August Athlete of the Month. At 16, this North Gwinnett junior has built an impressive athletic career from gymnastics through competitive cheer, all-star competition, and now pole vaulting. But beyond the trophies and competition placements, Natalie exemplifies something deeper: work ethic, leadership, and a faith-driven spirit that extends far beyond the mat.

From competing at All-Star Worlds to leading her team in prayer before every competition, Natalie represents the best of Edinburgh's next generation.

This month's recipe came with a side of gratitude. For America's 250th, neighbors Callaway Rector and Savannah Schuler mixed patriotism with a little sweetness, baking raspberry muffins for their neighbor, Col. Vince Apruzzese Sr. (Ret.), whose 25 years of Army service helped shape the nation we celebrate today.

The girls found their whole wheat raspberry muffin recipe in The Complete Baking Book for Young Chefs by America's Test Kitchen Kids, then gave it their own patriotic spin, turning the muffins into festive cupcakes to share with their veteran neighbor.

We love seeing young neighbors embrace the spirit of gratitude and service. Celebrating America's 250th can be as simple as sharing something homemade with a hero next door, any time of year.

👟This September, as he turns 40, Dr. Dustin "Biggs" Biggerstaff of AlignLife Chiropractic - Sugar Hill isn't slowing down. He's taking on the Tuscazoar 100, a grueling 100-mile endurance race through the rugged hills and trails of Dover, Ohio.

A former Amphibious Reconnaissance Marine, Dr. Biggs is running for something bigger than himself: raising awareness and support for Semper Fi & America's Fund, an organization providing lifelong assistance to wounded veterans, service members, and military families.

"This race is about resilience, purpose, and continuing the mission," Dr. Biggs says.

Every mile is a tribute to those still fighting battles long after their uniform comes off, and a call to action for the rest of us to show up for the veterans who sacrificed so much for our country.
