Did you know that Make-A-Wish grants more than 15,000 wishes nationwide every year? Every hour of every day, on average, three children are diagnosed with a critical illness. Every one of these kids needs a wish to give them strength and help them heal. We are fundraising so more deserving kids, and their families can know the true happiness, relief and renewal a wish can bring.
My sweet brother, Jared, was a Wish-Kid. He wished to go to Disney World and celebrate New Year's. My family had the best time on his wish trip! For a week, we were able to focus on spending time together, having fun and enjoying life. This brought so much joy and light to our family during a very difficult, dark and challenging medical time. Since seeing the joy that Jared's wish trip brought, it has been a dream of mine to fund a wish, so that other families could experience this as well.
Brian and I are hiking this 27.4-mile trailblaze challenge in honor of Jared. He passed away from leukemia when he was 17 years old, but he positively impacted many lives in his short time on earth. Jared taught us so much about strength, encouragement, contentment and what truly matters in life.
Please join us in giving to Make-A-Wish, so that other children, like Jared, can have their wish come true! These essential wishes are only possible because of supporters like you. Together, we are transforming lives- One wish at a time! Thank you for your support!
