Thank you all for your support! I am excited to take on this year’s Trailblaze Challenge and thanks to everyone who has helped me so far! 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. I am also hiking in honor and the memory of Olivia Bearden. Olivia was a Make A Wish recipient in 2007 and I will always remember the her and what this wish meant to her family.
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.
These essential wishes are only possible because of supporters like you. Together, we are transforming lives- One wish at a time!
