This journey started with something simple—our love for the outdoors.

As a family, some of our best memories have been made on the trails of Pennsylvania. Whether it’s spotting wildlife, splashing through creeks, or just slowing down and being together, those moments have become incredibly special to us. Malorie (8) and Maelyn (6) have truly fallen in love with nature, and it’s become a place where they feel happy, free, and connected.

When we heard about the Keystone Trails Association’s 100-Mile Challenge, it felt like the perfect opportunity to turn something we already love into something bigger.

Together, we’ve committed to hiking 100 miles before October 31, 2026—not just for the challenge, but to help protect and preserve the trails that have given us so much joy.

This isn’t just about miles for us. It’s about teaching the girls the value of setting goals, giving back, and being part of something meaningful. Every mile we hike is a memory made—and a step toward protecting these beautiful places for other families to enjoy.

We’re raising funds along the way, with a goal of at least $1 per mile, to support the maintenance and conservation of Pennsylvania’s trails through the Keystone Trails Association.

If you feel inspired to support us—whether through a donation, encouragement, or simply cheering us on—we are so grateful.

We’ll be sharing our journey every step of the way
