Shannon is turning 40 this September 26th. When asked what she wanted to do for her 40th birthday she said, "Hike 40km!"
To accomplish this a hike of the Baden Powell Trail has been organized into two days of 10km X 2 legs (40kms total). On top of the hike, we would like to set a goal of raising $40,000 for the charity West Coast Kids Cancer Foundation which Shannon is the Executive Director and has dedicated so much of her current time and energy to. West Coast Kids Cancer Foundation started 4 years ago when Shannon notices that families in British Columbia who are dealing with the trauma of childhood cancer receive less support services than other provinces. Ever since Shannon has been building a team and organization the provide more services to the families of British Columbia. If you would like to learn more about the organization please read through the website or feel free to reach out.
You are invited to participate in any of the following ways:
- Hike with her . As I mentioned it has been divided into 4 sections of approximately 10 kms each. She would love your company and is a great outdoor wilderness lead. To submit interest please fill out this FORM.
- Hike and raise money. A simple way to do this is to ask for people to support $10/km. If you hike 10km then asking for people to support $100 is a great way to foster support.
- Donate. If you are unable to hike due to health reasons or geographical constraints, you can still support financially towards the goal of $40,000.
- Write a note. A simple note of encouragement and cheerleading to support Shannon in what she believes in and has dedicated her time to
There isn't a better way to support and honour a woman who has dedicated her life to helping people in need. Shannon is incredible and touches every person she interacts with uniquely and on a personal level. There is no better 40th birthday gift than supporting the cause she has given her passion and energy to.
