Dear friends and family, After a year filled with transitions, loss, and new beginnings it only felt right to participate in this year’s Trailblaze Challenge. 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.
Having the opportunity to explore beautiful landscapes while raising money for a meaningful cause aligns with how I want to show up in the world.
I thought about signing up last year but was hesitant to commit with my mom not doing well. In addition, the idea of having to raise $2500 felt daunting and asking people for money is not an easy task for me!
However, I believe in this cause and in myself that I can raise the money AND hike the 28.3 miles on June 8th.
If you are in a place where you are able to donate money, whatever amount, that would be amazing and if not I totally understand. Your thoughts, prayers, and good vibes are essential too!
With a heart full of gratitude,
Mary Kinsey
