HIKE GRAND CANYON AGAIN!
We’re doing it! The second wish on
Maggie’s Bucket List.
It’s hard to believe it’s been almost 7 years to the day we hiked the Grand Canyon as a family with our son Steven and our only daughter Maggie who was 14 at the time and still healthy. Our world and Maggie’s world changed drastically on August 10, 2016. She complained of major pain in her lower abdominal area, something she never did.
Since that day, nothing has ever been the same in our beautiful family of 4. We will always be 4. But one of us only lives on in our hearts and our memories.
Maggie had an adventurous spirit and active attitude in her life. Her bucket list exudes her hopes and dreams for the future. She made videos of herself from the bottom of the Grand Canyon from our trip. We watched them recently. She said “I can’t wait to watch this 10 years from now.” How can it be she won’t get to listen to it again. How did cancer steal her beautiful, active spirit?
Two years ago, we embarked on a cross country trip filled with connections that felt like Maggie was with us.
This year, we’ve decided to hike the Grand Canyon (again) to renew our pledge to live for her and honor her dying wishes. Hopes for adventure and wishes to help children suffering.
Our journey will take us from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon to the North Rim and back again, tracing some of Maggie’s actual footsteps from 2014. We anticipate hiking over 50 miles over the course of two days.
