2024 Spring Trailblaze Challenge - Cashiers, NC

Two Idiots and a Trail

The best views come after the hardest climb.


The Two Idiots. Michael Moreschi is a retired “has been” from the Orlando Police Department who received a Pacemaker as a retirement gift. He now spends his time teaching criminal justice at Brevard College. Quintin Overocker is a geologist turned passable registrar for Brevard College. As Sheldon Cooper once said, “Geology is the Kardashians of science.”  Moreschi is an idiot because he is 13 years older than Overocker, who might be the bigger idiot because he did the challenge last year. He is returning for more, and Moreschi’s wife will make him hike with the defibrillator this time around.

The Trail. It begins on May 18th at 5 am in the Whitewater Falls area (NC) and follows the Foothills Trial for 28.1 miles to Oconee State Park (SC). The goal is to take 12 hours to complete. Most importantly, all money donated will go directly to Make-a-Wish, and none of it will be deferred to cover emergency room co-pays or funeral expenses.  

We are thrilled to take on this year’s Trailblaze Challenge. In addition to the physical challenge, we have committed ourselves to raising the essential funds necessary for Make-A-Wish to help grant the wishes of children with critical illnesses. With your help, proving hope and joy during these uncertain times is possible.    

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!

*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.
