Welcome to my personal 2023 Walk for Kids page! This year not only do I walk for children with cancer, but in honor of our beloved Brian Crater who we lost unexpectedly in March. Brian was Camp's Associate Executive Director and touched the lives of many children and families for 35 years. He was a beautiful human being who was most happy helping others and Camp was lucky to have had him for so many years. He will surely be missed!  

I hope that you will join me in raising money for seriously ill children and their families. Camp Ronald McDonald for Good Times is a year round program that provides children with cancer and their families the opportunity to pause, connect with others who are facing similar challenges, and renew a sense of hope. They help youth build courage and independence, and experience a sense of belonging in a healing, medically safe environment. This amazing place is part of the full 'circle of healing' experience.

We all know someone, unfortunately, who has been touched by cancer. I am no different. My brother-in-law was diagnosed with cancer and passed away years ago leaving behind my 3-year old nephew at the time. I wanted to honor him as well and give back to the community by joining the Board of Trustees for Camp Ronald McDonald five years ago. My passion and love for Camp led to a leadership role and I am now the immediate past President of the Board. I love the outdoors and being active, so I understand how a recreational program like Camp is part of the healing experience for children with cancer and their families.
