I am excited to take on my third Trailblaze Challenge at this year's 26 mile Trailblaze Challenge in Oregon!
It was such an impactful experience in 2021 hiking my first Trailblaze Challenge at Big Bear on the PCT. Crossing the finish line after 28 miles, seeing my family waiting there as I wore a star necklace reminding me of one of the wish kids was incredibly inspiring and meaningful to me. Our team (Miles for Smiles) then hiked the Trailblaze Challenge in Nevada last year and had another incredible experience as a wish family joined the weekend for the hike. We were all hiking together and are continuing the hiking to help raise critical funds necessary for Make-A-Wish to grant the one true wish for each eligible child with a critical illness. With your help and support, it’s possible.
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, 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. I’m fundraising so more deserving kids and their families can know the true happiness, relief and renewal a wish can bring.
These essential wishes are only possible because of supporters like you. Together, we are all transforming lives- One wish at a time!
Will you help me support Make-A-Wish by donating today? Thank you so much for your support!!
