Hike With Your Heart

On November 9, I'll be hiking to raise awareness and be a part of the solution supporting older kids in foster care here in the US and in orphanages around the world. My goal is to raise $1000 to support Kidsave’s amazing programs. Over 440,000 kids in the US and 8 million globally are in child welfare systems like foster programs and orphanages. Since 1999, Kidsave's work has positively impacted the lives of more than 560,000 children worldwide.

I want to give kids the chance to start a new chapter and live a life of hope, love, and acceptance. Kids like Luna who was adopted in January 2024 after being in foster care for years.

Luna met her mom and dad, Stuart and Sydney, through our Weekend Miracles program at our Hike event in 2022. It was an instant connection. We are so happy to see them celebrating every day together as a forever family. Read more about Luna’s adoption story.

Join me November 9 at 9:30am on Teddy Roosevelt Island for our DMV region Kidsave hike. It's an easy 1.5-mile loop around the island and we will have breakfast sandwiches after the hike. Please know that your support enables Kidsave to find forever families for all kids, everywhere. We are especially proud to be undertaking this hike in November as we are launching a local Virginia program in December 2024 -- we'll be helping older kids in the Commonwealth's foster care system connect with caring adults and mentors with an eye on helping them find their forever families.
