I am excited to take on 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. With your help, it's possible.

This challenge is near and dear to my heart as I will be hiking in honor of my late cousin, Maria. Sadly, Maria lost her battle with cancer shortly before her sixth birthday. Thanks to Make-A-Wish, Maria was able to enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime trip to the happiest place on earth - Disney World. To this day, whenever I see a beautiful rainbow in the sky I am reminded of my sweet cousin.

Did you know that Make-A-Wish has granted more than 550,000 wishes around the world? That’s a lot, yes. But right now, for every wish that comes true, two more children with critical illnesses are waiting for theirs to be granted because Make-A-Wish lacks the necessary funding. I’m fundraising for Make-A-Wish so that more deserving kids and their families can know the life-changing joy, renewal, strength and hope that a wish can bring.

Life-changing wishes are only possible because of supporters like us. A wish can truly transform a child's life, and we have the power to grant it. Please consider donating today!
