In May, Jennifer and Eric will be participating in the Make-A-Wish Trailblaze Challenge: a 28.3 mile hike on the Foothills Trail.  We do this in order to fundraise for children who are critically ill; and our efforts will contribute to making a child's special wish come true.  The granting of a wish for a critically ill child is a beautiful compliment to medical care: the wish improves wellbeing and provides an uplifting of the spirit.  Further, the anticipation of the special event coupled with its endearing memory provide a well of strength and will to draw upon.  Jennifer and Eric will be strengthening our resolve as we commit our time to fundraise and train for the Make-A-Wish Trailblaze Challenge.  

A single wish costs Make-A-Wish $7,500 on average to fulfill; our goal is to grant at least one wish.

Jennifer and Eric are extremely grateful for your consideration of this message and, hopefully, for your contribution to this cause.  

Thank you!  

Jennifer & Eric Rifkin

Below is a message from Make-A-Wish:

Wish kids are some of the most resilient and sweetest kids you'll ever know. The one true vision of a wish may vary from trip to a pickle factory, become a superhero, give their baseball team new uniforms, and push all of the buttons in a tall building's elevator.  Their innocence and unexpected wisdom stays with you.

Make-A-Wish grants thousands of unique wishes each year. A lot, yes. But that’s only 50% of eligible kids, and now more than ever every child needs something positive to look forward to. We’re fundraising so more deserving kids and their families may know the true happiness, relief and renewal a wish can bring. 

Please help us support this impactful mission by joining us on the trail or helping us hit our Trailblaze Challenge fundraising goal.  Thank you for your support!
