Team Hiking for Hope, Heather, Jaime, Brad and Diana, has collectively participated in Peru Rocks and Pikes Peak Rocks, organized by the Love Hope Strength Foundation, and has found these journeys to be an inspiring and worthy way to give back to those in need.
Unfortunately, as most people are able to say, cancer has touched each member of the members of Team Hiking for Hope: family members and friends who have survived cancer, currently battling cancer or grandparents and friends who have succumbed to cancer.
Seeing people who we love get the medical treatment they need in order to beat the disease is a gift and knowing there are so many people out there who die as a result of not having adequate medical care or access to good doctors and treatment is unbearable. The Love Hope Strength Foundation is such a worthy cause because that is one of the important charitable works they provide: access to doctors and treatment to those who otherwise would not have this care.
Team Hiking for Hope’s participation in Pikes Peak Rocks will be a celebration of the recovery for those they know who have beaten cancer: Janet/Mom who is currently free from breast cancer but not before undergoing a double masectomy and chemotherapy, James Chippendale, who is cancer free after surviving a long battle with luekemia, and we are also hiking to provide love, hope and strength to those currently battling cancer, specifically Heather’s dear friend Cory, who is currently recovering from a double masectomy and will soon be undergoing chemotherapy and radiation. Jaime is also hiking in honor of her dear friend Eamonn who lost his battle to cancer when he was just 21.
Heather, Jaime, Brad and Diana ,“Hiking for Hope” thanks each and every one of you for your support, and be rest assured; your money is making a difference through Love Hope Strength!
THANK YOU!
