Thank you for helping support with Maryland Trek 2025! Your donation or share means the world to me. 🌎

I'm excited to join this incredible initiative and tackle the challenge of hiking 🥾 and biking 🚴‍♂️ across Maryland in support of Just In Power Kids mission which is important to me and clearly makes a difference for pediatric oncology patients and their families.

I'm committing to trek 329 miles across Maryland in August—through mountains, suburbs, and onto the beach—to raise $5,000 for Just In Power Kids, an incredible Maryland-based nonprofit that supports families affected by pediatric cancer.

Why I’m trekking:
As a teacher, I’ve witnessed the ripple effect of cancer—not just in families I know but among my students and colleagues. Though there isn’t a single person at the heart of this journey, there are many faces who’ve inspired me. This trek is my way of uniting our shared strength and purpose.

What your donation will do:
Just In Power Kids offers holistic, integrative care alongside conventional treatment—everything from chef-prepared nutrition and parking support at Johns Hopkins, to financial aid for travel, lodging, and household support. In 2024 they covered over $90,000 in parking and food assistance alone—and served more than 200 families.

My goal:
By raising $5,000, we can help Just In Power Kids continue alleviating these stresses—so kids can focus on healing and families can focus on one another, not expenses.

Join me:
Whether you're a friend, family member, coworker, or follower online, your support matters. Please follow my Maryland trek journey and consider donating. Every contribution brings us closer to lifting up these resilient kids as they kick cancer’s butt—and that’s a mission worth every mile.
