Grand Canyon Xtreme Hike 2026 : Join the Adventure Without Leaving Your House.

Apparently, one trip across the Grand Canyon wasn't enough! This October, my son Nick and I will lace up our hiking boots, question our sanity somewhere around mile 15, and hike rim-to-rim to raise money for the National Ataxia Foundation. Last year, thanks to your incredible generosity, I raised more than $10,000. This year, Nick and I are aiming for $25,000—and if we hit that goal, we'll raise the bar even higher. Every donation fuels promising research and brings hope to families living with ataxia. If you'd like to cheer us on without climbing 24 miles or surviving thousands of feet of elevation change, a donation is the perfect way to join the adventure. Thank you for helping us turn sore legs into meaningful progress!
