Don't wait for hope. Create it!
Hi Friends! I am beyond excited to share that I am coming back for YEAR 3 of the most magical event I've been lucky to be a part of and I will be taking on this year’s Trailblaze Challenge hiking the Pacific Crest Trail TWO times this season-That's 56 miles! (28 miles each day)
Why did I decide to put my body through this twice in a season?
Last year after the hike, I was driving my broken body down the mountain, and I couldn't stop sobbing due to how touching that weekend was in so many ways. I got this urge to do more, and kept thinking "What is next? How can I make a bigger impact?" I couldn't get the thought out of my mind of hiking both offered weekends. That thought hasn't left me so that's my goal for this year!
In addition to the physical challenge, this means I have committed myself to raising twice the required amount as required last year. These critical funds are 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!
My Personal Reason:
I know what it's like to experience the joy, and true happiness of a granted wish! When battling Leukemia as a child, I too was given a life changing wish that I still talk about today. I wanted to go to Disney and get slimed at Nickelodeon which is exactly what I did! As a former wish kid, myself, I’m fundraising so more deserving kids and their families can feel the relief and renewal a wish can bring.
Through Make-A-Wish, I am also a wish granter. As a wish granter I get to drive the wish discovery stage all the way to the wish reveal, followed by granting the wish itself. Going from a wish recipient to a wish granter has really been a special thing in my life.
THANK YOU!
These essential wishes are only possible because of supporters like you. Together, we are transforming lives- One wish at a time!
