Dear Friends and Family,

In June, I will be participating in the Trailblaze Challenge benefitting the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Mississippi.  I will be trekking across the Pinhoti Trail, a 26.3 mile trail which boasts some of the most scenic views and waterfalls in the Southeast.  My goal is to complete this challenge in one very long day, rain or shine, AND to raise $2500 for Make-A-Wish!

Make-A-Wish grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions in order to enrich their lives with hope, strength, and joy.  A wish come true empowers children to fight harder against their illnesses.  When a child is granted a wish, he receives more than just a great experience for a day, two days, or a week.  That experience improves quality of life for the child as well as his entire family!

Many wish children will not have the opportunity to take on a mountain or experience the wilderness.  I've climbed many peaks and tackled intense terrain over the past 20 years, but never for a reason other than my own indulgence.  I take great strength and courage knowing that this hike will contribute to such a worthy cause.

Making a donation is easy and secure!  Just click the "DONATE NOW" button on this page to make a donation that will be credited to my fundraising.  Any amount you can give is greatly appreciated!

Please be assured that your generous gift will be used efficiently and effectively to grant vital wishes for children in our community.

Our collective help is needed to provide Make-A-Wish the means to grant life-changing wishes.  Together, we can make a difference in the lives of some very special children.

Thank you for helping me recognize this special occasion and for supporting the mission of Make-A-Wish!

Sincerely,

Bridget Wineman
