The best views come after the hardest climb.


As we approach our 50th Anniversary in February, our grateful hearts are flooded with memories of each of you shining a little light on our journey together. 

On May 6 we are taking on the “Make-A-Wish Alabama Trailblazer Challenge”, a 26.3 mile, day-long hike in Talladega National Forest. We’re taking on this challenge because we believe in the power of wishes and the impact they can have on a child and their family fighting a critical illness.  Our own personal experience of our 32 year old son fighting and winning his battle against cancer taught us the strength of positive words and prayers that so many of you gave us!

Robert and I have pledged to raise a minimum of $5,000.00 for Make-A-Wish-Alabama. Would you consider making a tax-deductible donation to help us achieve this goal?

Did you know that Make-A-Wish-Alabama granted more than 150 wishes in 2022 but they had 275 requests?  Nationwide, every hour of every day, on average, three children are diagnosed with a critical illness and only 50% of the wishes requested can be granted due to lack of funding.

Together we can make a difference, granting even more wishes in 2023 and sprinkling a little more "fairy dust" of hope on a child battling for his life!  We believe in miracles!  Together, we are transforming lives one wish at a time!

*Gifts made through this fundraising campaign are a gift to the entire Make-A-Wish mission. The needs shown are symbolic of the common wish elements associated with each wish and are only representative of our many wish-granting activities. Gifts made will not actually be used to purchase the item or grant the wish described. All gifts will be pooled to meet the needs of Make-A-Wish.
