Dear Family and Friends
Rebecca and I are excited to take on this year’s Trailblaze Challenge in support of the Mid Atlantic Region for Make-A-Wish. Some of you may know that we have been long time supporters of Make-A-Wish, either by contributing to specific kids' wishes, or attending local fundraising events (both in California and Virginia). This is an organization that we are proud to be involved with since it facilitates the granting the wishes of children with critical illnesses. These life-changing wishes have repeatedly been shown to help kids deal with their medical difficulties.
The Trailblaze Challenge will be a 26.6 mile hike (just over a marathon) through the Catoctin Trail in Maryland, on March 20, 2021. It will be a physical and mental challenge for us, but we are looking forward to taking this on, knowing that our fundraising efforts will be helping so many kids in need.
Did you know that Make-A-Wish grants more than 15,000 wishes nationwide every year? That’s a lot, yes. But that’s only 50% of the eligible kids. Every hour of every day, 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’re fundraising so more deserving kids and their families can know the happiness, relief and renewal a wish can bring.
These life-changing wishes are only possible because of supporters and fundraising efforts like this one. A wish experience can truly change a child’s life, and so can we.
Will you help us support Make-A-Wish by donating today?
(Supporting either of us will support both of us, so it doesn't matter who you chose to donate towards.)
Thank you so very much for your support
David & Rebecca
