My involvement began in college and then I was on staff at Make-A-Wish Oklahoma for six years. After leaving to stay home when my first son was born, I have continued to serve in various capacities. This is my third year serving on the Walk for Wishes planning committee and I hope my continued support tells you how much I believe in the mission.

This year my little boys are planning their third annual lemonade stand benefiting Make-A-Wish Oklahoma. The first year they raised $900. The second $2500. They’re hoping to meet a $4,000 goal this year with your help. If you can’t buy lemonade in person, you can make a donation here to contribute to their total. Simply make a note somewhere in your donation or let Katie know!

My hope is that together, we can support the many children waiting to receive their wish. 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. I’m fundraising so more deserving kids and their families can know the happiness, relief and renewal a wish can bring.
