She\u2019ll be competing alongside disgraced former congressman George Santos, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Brandi Glanville<\/a>, and about a dozen other reality TV stars and athletes.<\/p>\n Asked what drew her to the opportunity at this phase of life \u2014 newly 50 and about to become a first-time grandmother<\/a> \u2014 Bure told The Independent, \u201cI was really fearful of some of the things that I could possibly be doing, but when I\u2019m challenged with something that scares me really badly, I like to say yes, because I don\u2019t want fear ruling my life.\u201d<\/p>\n Bure admitted that the show \u201cis really the world’s toughest challenge.\u201d <\/p>\n \u201cYou are in training with the Navy Seals and doing crazy things that most of us will never do in our lives,\u201d she explained. \u201cAnd yet this is what these men and women do on a daily basis for us in our country to protect us. So that in itself was just incredible to be able to have that opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n She added: \u201cI just I turned 50 and I felt like this was an opportunity of like, you’re in a new decade and you got to say yes. Like nothing can hold you back.\u201d<\/p>\n Bure said that by competing, she hopes to inspire women around her age<\/a> to not give up opportunities later in life just because they may be challenging.<\/p>\n \u201cWe’re never too old,\u201d she said. \u201cDon’t discount us. Even if we’re in perimenopause or menopause, we can still do hard things.\u201d<\/p>\n
