Don't wait for hope. Create it!
Our mission is simple-"We grant live-changing wishes to children with critical illnesses."
Hi everyone! I am beyond excited to share that I am coming back for YEAR 4 (hiking for my 5th 6th and 7th time) of the most magical event I've been lucky to be a part of. Once again, I will be taking on this year’s Trailblaze Challenge THREE times this season-Once with San Diego, once with Oregon Make-A-Wish and once where it all started in North Carolina.
Why again and again?
Each year after the big hike day, I drive my broken body down the mountain asking myself "What is next? How can I make a bigger impact? This year I've decided to support my first love (ha!) Make-A-Wish San Diego, while challenging myself in different states to increase my impact and meet a friend or two along the way. Kids with critical illnesses need wishes granted in all states, right? Same mission, same deserving kids!
In addition to the physical challenge, this means I have committed myself to raising the required amount. These critical funds are 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!
My Personal Reason:
I know what it's like to experience the joy, and true happiness of a granted wish! When battling Leukemia as a child, I too was given a life changing wish that I still talk about today. I wanted to go to Disney and get slimedat Nickelodeon which is exactly what I did! As a former wish kid, myself, I’mfundraising so more deserving kidsand their families can feel the relief and renewal a wish can bring.
Through Make-A-Wish, I am also a wish granter. As a wish granter I get to drive the wish discovery stage all the way to the wish reveal, followed by granting the wish itself. Going from a wish recipient to a wish granter has really been a special thing in my life.
These essential wishes are only possible because of supporters like you. Together, we are transforming lives- One wish at a time!
Will you help me support Make-A-Wish by donating today?
Thank you beyond measure.
