I am excited to take on this year’s Trailblaze Challenge! Yes, I plan to do all of the training and then finally hike the full 26.3 miles. Am I crazy? Probably, but it’ll be worth it! In addition to the physical challenge, I have committed myself to raising the critical funds necessary for Make-A-Wish to grant the one true wish for each eligible child with a critical illness. With your help, it’s possible. What started out as me just wanting to get out and back to hiking, has now turned into a mission fueled by wanting to help make these wishes come true.
Did you know that Make-A-Wish grants more than 15,000 wishes nationwide every year? That’s a lot, yes. But that’s only 50% of the eligible kids. Every hour of every day, on average, three children are diagnosed with a critical illness. Every one of these kids needs a wish to give them strength and help them heal. I’m fundraising so more deserving kids and their families can know the true happiness, relief and renewal a wish can bring. Hopefully, with your help and support we can close the gap on children still needing their wishes fulfilled.
These essential wishes are only possible because of supporters like you. Together, we are transforming lives- One wish at a time!
