A MESSAGE FROM Lisa
I'm joining forces with 3000 Miles to a Cure to raise desperately-needed funds for brain cancer research. On September 27, 2021 I will join a small team of brain cancer warriors hiking 26 miles from the North Rim to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. We will complete this crossing in one day to bring hope to those fighting brain cancer.
As many of you know our fight is personal. In Fall of 2016 our daughter Charlotte was diagnosed with Stage 3 Anaplastic Astrocytoma. She endured 3 brain surgeries, a year of chemo and radiation, and countless therapy appointments as she regained her ability to walk and care for herself. She is now getting ready to start her last year at Auburn where she is completing her degree as a Child Life Specialist.
While this hike is challenging, it is nothing compared to the challenges she endured on her journey. I am hiking so that one day no child, mother, father, sister, family member, or friend will know that journey.
I need your support to reach my goal of raising $2,775 before we Cross the Canyon. Thank you for joining me in this race to #beatbraincancer.
