On April 25th I will be walking with Harper and Pearson colleagues, family and friends in the annual Walk for The Woods Project event. The Woods Project has a special purpose for me as I serve as Treasurer on the Board of Directors.  I truly believe in the mission of this organization as it provides incredible opportunities for high potential, underserved Houston high school students.  

TWP students step outside of their comfort zone as they participate in wilderness immersion activities both here in Houston and in nationally recognized locations such as Yosemite National Park, Donner Pass/Desolation Wilderness, Olympic National Park, Voyageurs National Park, and the Apostle Islands in Lake Superior. 

Last summer, I joined Junior Leaders Program (JLP) students in the Apostle Islands as a volunteer leader.  I was thrilled to be a part of our student's life-changing experiences, as they overaome challenges, developed life and leadership skills, and gained a new sense of confidence.  Honestly, I can say it was a life-changing event for me as I watched the development of the JLP students as we all worked together, physically and socially, in our small community during our two weeks in the Lake Superior region.

Please join me in supporting The Woods Project by walking with me on April 25th or making a donation to this worthy organization.

Thank you, Pat
