I have participated in the Trailblaze Challenge 7 times in the past 4 years and am so excited to conquer it my 8th time this year in beautiful Big Bear! In addition to the physical challenge of this one day, 28 mile hike on the Pacific Crest Trail, 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.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation is near and dear to my heart. Wish kids are some of the bravest and sweetest kids you'll ever know and my Grand-Niece Marcee is one of these children. Marcee was born with Down's Syndrome and then just before her 4th birthday was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Marcee had the odds stacked against her. All of the doctor visits, treatments and constant up and downs took a toll on the entire family. I am grateful to say that Marcee fought and won her cancer battle and is now a happy, healthy and very active teenager.
Marcee was granted a Wish which was a trip to San Diego so that she could meet her extended family (like myself) and visit Disneyland, Legoland and the beach. Marcee's family is forever grateful to the Make-A-Wish Foundation for providing the entire family with such an incredible experience and grateful that Marcee could end her cancer journey in such a positive way,
These essential wishes are only possible because of supporters like you. Together, we are transforming lives- One wish at a time!
Thank you,
Laura Wittak
