Some kids wish for toys. Others wish for just one day away from the hospital.
Most kids dream about things like going to Disney World, meeting their favorite character, or taking a special trip with their family.
But for some kids, their biggest wish is simply a moment away from hospitals, treatments, and the fear that comes with a critical illness.
That’s why the work of the Make-A-Wish Trailblaze is so powerful.
When a wish is granted, it isn’t just about the trip or the experience — it gives a child and their family something they desperately need during a very hard time… hope.
This year I’ll be hiking over 20 miles in the Trailblaze Challenge with my team, Lanterns of Hope Trailblazers, to help raise money that grants wishes for kids facing these battles.
Our team is hiking to help bring light and hope to children and families going through incredibly difficult times. Every mile we hike helps move another wish closer to being granted.
The miles will be tough, but they’re nothing compared to what these kids go through every day.
I’m currently working toward my fundraising goal, and every donation — big or small — helps bring a wish to life.
If you’d like to help make a wish come true, you can donate here:

I’d love to see our community rally together with 22 donations of $22 to represent the miles of the hike.
If you’re looking for an easy way to help, you could also consider:
• $6 for my 6th Trailblaze Challenge hike
• $22 for the 22 miles I’ll be hiking
• Join the $10 Army — 100 people giving $10 would raise $1,000 toward granting wishes.
For anyone who wants to go a step further, I’m also letting people Sponsor a Mile of the hike. There are 22 miles total, and businesses or individuals can sponsor one.
If you’re interested in sponsoring a mile, comment or message me!
And if you’re not able to donate, sharing this post helps more people see it and supports the mission.
Thank you all for the support 💙
