For those who know me, you know I love a good word puzzle. So for this year's SENDtember challenge, I couldn't resist creating one of my own: the SEND IT Challenge! Six epic hikes that spell S-E-N-D-I-T, with each trail or peak beginning with one of the letters in Send It:
S – Shirley Canyon
E – Eagle Lake
N – North Maggies Peak
D – Donner Peak
I – Incline Flume Trail
T – Mount Tallac
Over the course of SENDtember, I'll be hiking each of these iconic Tahoe trails while raising funds for the Send It Foundation. Every mile is dedicated to the young adult cancer fighters and survivors who join Send It programs from across the country.
If you'd like to support my challenge, I'd be grateful for a donation of any size.
And if you'd like to create your own S-E-N-D-I-T Challenge, join the Summit Squad team. You don't have to be in Tahoe—choose six hikes, peaks, trails, or walks that spell S-E-N-D-I-T wherever you live and make the challenge your own. Whether you tackle mountain summits, local trails, or neighborhood walks, every mile helps raise critical funds to ensure Send It's programs remain completely free for participants.
Let's see how many miles and vertical feet we can complete together this September!
Join the Movement. Take on the challenge. Send It!!!
