Terri Cohen hikes in memory of her daughter, Leah.
“The first time I did this hike was when Leah was toward the end of her battle. My son and I signed up to take the hike and at that time she was doing pretty well so she met us at the finish line. It’s a moment that I will forever hold in my heart,” says Terri.
As you hike, the love and bravery you carry fuels the hope of children battling cancer everywhere, offering them a brighter tomorrow and the promise of a future free of toxic treatments.
