FUNDRAISING for 2022: going into the wilderness on the john muir trail!
Hi, I'm Tami, the co-founder of It Takes Guts! 2022 fundraising is going to look a little different this year:
Setting off on a 220+ mile journey on the beautiful John Muir Trail on August 5th, my goal is to fundraise for Warrior Family Camp 2023. More info on camp can be found here! In 2017, we started the first camp of its kind, a week-long adventure in the Northern California redwoods that supports families of children suffering chronic illness. This camp is at no cost to the families we support and the goal is to show them how to survive and thrive despite the challenges they face. Our theme for our first camp in 2017 was "Say Yes," a way to teach our chronically ill children to step out of their comfort zone and SAY YES to swimming, kayaking and hiking when their first instinct is usually to say, "No, I can't do that!"
These past few pandemic years have thrown major challenges our way as we traditionally host a 5K every year to fundraise. The pandemic has made it impossible to safely hold our annual event, so I am turning to the wilderness to fundraise for 2023. Being on the trail is my happy place and my own personal challenges are great as I've had 4 knee surgeries in the course of a two year period . I want to show our kids that we can all SAY YES despite the obstacles we face.
Each day on the trail, I will focus my thoughts specifically on one of our warriors and their family as I push on through the 220 plus miles. We must all step out of our comfort zones and accomplish great things AND the added bonus to fund Warrior Family Camp 2023 out in nature!
DISCLAIMER: I will be supplying my own equipment and food, personally paying permits, and all costs for this trip! Any funds raised will go directly to Warrior Family Camp 2023! I am covering my own costs for gear and food.
