In June, I will be participating in the Trailblaze Challenge benefitting Make-A-Wish.  In just one amazing day, I will be trekking across a section of the Pinhoti Trail for the Make-A-Wish Mississippi Chapter. It is a 26.3 mile trail boasts some of the most scenic views in the Southeast.  The goal is to complete this amazing challenge in one very long day, rain or shine AND raise $2,500 for Make-A-Wish! 

I have decided to take on this challenge to raise awareness as well as money for Make-A-Wish Mississippi.  Make-A-Wish grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy.  A wish come true empowers children to fight harder against their illnesses.  When they are granted a wish, they get more than just a great experience for a day, two days, or a week.  That experience improves the quality of life for them and their entire family. 

I am taking on this challenge in order to be a part of something bigger than myself. Many wish children will not have the opportunity to take on a mountain or experience the wilderness, and it provides me with great strength and courage to know that my actions are contributing to such a worthy cause.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity!
