Bubble wrap and all, I am excited to jump in with both feet and take on this year’s Trailblaze Challenge! I will be hiking 26.3 miles on the Pinhoti Trail on November 6 (postponed from April 18 due to Covid-19). I am training for the physical challenge leading up to the hike & have committed to raising money for Make-A-Wish to help grant the wishes of children with critical illnesses.
Make-A-Wish grants thousands of unique wishes each year but that’s only 50% of eligible kids. I’m fundraising so more deserving kids and their families can have their wish granted. They wish to work in a pickle factory, become a superhero, go snorkeling, give their baseball team new uniforms, and push all of the buttons in a tall building's elevator.
I'm no stranger to the MAW family having supported the cause for the last few years; I've seen first hand the happiness, relief and renewal a wish can bring meeting children who have received their wish. Even kids who know their wish has been granted for the future gives more hope & encouragement than you can imagine!
Wish kids are some of the bravest and sweetest kids you'll ever know. Their innocence and unexpected wisdom stays with you. Please help me support this great cause by helping me hit my Trailblaze Challenge fundraising goal.
Thank you for your support!
Deb
P.S. In case you are wondering, I'm not physically jumping in with both feet, because you know me... bubble wrap!
