My kids and I will be travelling down to Oregon from Alberta, Canada for our very first Trailblaze Challenge. I will be hiking with my baby and toddler and representing our Social Enterprise, Kids Who Explore. I will be supported by friends, family, and teammates to hike over 43 km (26.3 Miles) through the incredible Silver Falls State Park.

I will be starting the hike at 4 am and it will take me approximately 12 hours to complete the challenge. Every step of the way, I will be hiking for the kids to share strength to help in their healing journey. I have committed myself to raising the critical funds necessary for Make-A-Wish to grant the one true wish for each eligible child with a critical illness. Your support will add a little magic to lives of children facing the most difficult moments. A wish brings a spark of joy, renewal, and relief to families. Your donation and support make wishes come true. Thank you.

I hike all over the Canadian Rockies with my kids and raised both of my babies on the hiking trail. I encourage new moms to connect to nature to find healing postpartum across my Social Media platforms. I am an Outdoor Influencer representing the outdoor Motherhood journey, Mom to two sons, CEO/Founder of Kids Who Explore, a Financial Analyst for Cenovus Energy, and I have a lot of love and passion for getting kids outdoors and connected to nature. I focus on how hiking helps improve mental health, creates a deep bond with baby, and that nature, connection, and community are the greatest healers of all. I see the power in community at Make-A-Wish and I want to do anything I can to support their cause.

I am training in the Canadian Rockies among hundreds of other strong hiking moms and families in the Kids Who Explore community, and I will be bringing that energy when we arrive in Oregon for the Trailblaze Challenge.
