Hi Friends and Fam, again!

I want to start with saying THANK YOU to everyone that donated last year for the Green River Canoe Trip.  It was one of the most amazing experiences I have gone on and I met the most incredible people and left with lifelong friends.

Well, it’s a new year and I am going on another adventure with the same program, but this time I will take part on a backpacking adventure through Yellowstone National Park this coming fall!

I will again be fundraising for a nonprofit organization that sends people like me out into the wilderness, where you know I belong.

This organization is called TRUE NORTH TREKS whose mission is to support young adults and caregivers affected by cancer to "find direction through connection.” How do they do this you ask, well they do this is by taking groups on free backpacking and canoeing treks in beautiful and remote wilderness destinations where they can engage in three crucial connections that are often missing from conventional cancer care:

1) connection with nature (after going through something as unnatural as cancer treatment),

2) connection with peers who get it and have walked a similar path, and

3) connection with oneself through mindful awareness practices, such as meditation and yoga.

Everyone is able to attend by a Pay it Forward Pledge program.

My pledge goal is $1,200 but I am hoping you all will help me exceed that goal to help fund the next individual to be able to participate in this amazing program.
