Trail Blazers: Michael Goldberg Shares Why He Loves The Hike Challenge

Read stories from a few of our annual Trail Blazers hikers and get pumped for your own Trail Blazers event!

I've been familiar with Camp Casco for several years and was delighted to be introduced to Trail Blazers by the organization's amazing CEO, Erin Stern.

What do I love about Trail Blazers? Really, what don't I love about Trail Blazers? Trail Blazers is an opportunity to enjoy a hike with great company, to connect with your community while fundraising, and to support a wonderful cause.

Picking my Trail Blazers path is simple: I choose a trail that is convenient and looks enjoyable. I've done everything from a stroll around the neighborhood to Zion National Park. You can't go wrong: all you need is some water, a hat, sunscreen, some snacks, and a smile...and you're good to go!

Tell your friends about Trail Blazers and ask them to join your team. Let them know it's going to be soooooooo much fun. Invite anyone and everyone, and you'll be surprised by how positive the reception is -- from your favorite barista to your co-worker to your cousin to your best friend. They'll thank you for doing them a favor. Sunshine + great company + hiking + supporting kids with cancer = best time ever

Trail Blazers is important for the cancer community because it does two impactful things. First, it raises valuable resources to ensure that kids impacted by childhood cancers can enjoy one of the best experiences of their lives (free summer camp) as well as support and programming throughout the year. As importantly, the event brings people together, and that's what community is all about. Trail Blazers reminds us how we can show up for one another, whether by contributing financially, emotionally, or physically. Anyone who becomes involved will feel so good afterward, and the world can always benefit from positive energy.
