BOTTOM LINE:
DONATE! Please help me raise *at least* $10,000 for Make-A-Wish – the average cost it takes to grant one wish in San Diego & Imperial Counties. Donations of $1,000, or more, can qualify for sponsorship perks. From individuals, I'm asking for donations in increments of $10. From groups, businesses, or organization, I'm asking for donations in increments of $100.
WHAT:
I am excited to take on my fifth Trailblaze Challenge, and sixth fundraiser for Make-A-Wish Foundation of San Diego. In addition to the physical challenge, I have committed myself to raising money for Make-A-Wish to help grant the wishes of children with critical illnesses. With your help, it’s possible!!

WHY:
Wish kids are some of the bravest and sweetest kids you'll ever know. I have been fortunate to meet several wish kids and their families and have been moved to tears when I learn their stories. One such wish kid gave me an autograph after he became a San Diego Padres player for a day! Make-A-Wish San Diego has been rated 4/4 stars on Charity Navigator consecutively since 2013, with a current overall rating of 100% as of the latest published rating. Not only does a high percentage of each dollar raised go directly to their mission, but the staff and volunteers are great too :)

LAST YEAR:
The 2023 Trailblaze Challenge SD raised more than $700,000 to support wish granting in San Diego & Imperial Counties. Thus, 70+ life-changing wishes could be granted for children with critical illnesses. My wonderful hiking team completed 28 miles, while I was able to complete 20 miles hiking in Big Bear Lake, CA along the Pacific Crest Trail! Whew! This year, I'm all in for the full 28 miles!
MY STORY:
I am a native San Diegan, military combat Veteran, and Make-A-Wish enthusiast. After having been to war and back (OIF/OEF), I enjoy the uplifting part of life... like giving back to the community. I prefer surrounding myself with positive, hopeful, fun, family, friends, and community.
THANK YOU!
Please help me support this great cause by joining me on the trail or helping me hit my Trailblaze Challenge fundraising goal. Thank you for your support!
