For my birthday this year I am asking for a gift from all to support our natural areas and the places I love to get lost in here in Wisconsin.

Not all hikes are alike – some have amazing views along the way, some require more work to reach the top, and this next hike I’m taking is one with a purpose. This is the most important hike of my life because I’m raising funds for the Sierra Club-John Muir Chapter. Nature’s done good by me, and now it’s my turn to do good by nature. You don't always get to make a difference when you hike, but with Team Sierra, you can. I care about the places we live, and the funds you donate will enable the Sierra Club-John Muir Chapter to do things like: • Advocate for the transition to clean energy. • Protect our land, water, and air – from our backyards to the northwoods. • Make the outdoors accessible for all of us. I know they’re going to take the funds we raise and use them to have the biggest impact possible on the issues we care about. My goal is $500, please help me reach my summit by making a donation. And when you do, let me know why you care about doing good by nature in the “Words of Encouragement” box. I would love to hear from you! This is important to me because the Sierra Club-John Muir Chapter is making our communities better – they’re protecting Wisconsin's natural places and working hard to ensure clean air and water for all. I want to help them succeed. If you'd like to learn more about their mission, you can check out sierraclub.org/wisconsin, or participate in their campaigns at addup.org! Thanks so much!

P.S. I was amazed that Sierra Club has been saving our environment for the last 125 years! And the Wisconsin chapter has been active for over 55 years! They are determined, focused, and need our help!
