Participants are asked to help fundraise $2,000 before the weekend of the challenge.
The money goes towards Make-A-Wish’s cause; granting wishes to children who are battling critical illnesses.
Wish parent Magda Stoltman will also be joining in on the hike. Her son Ryker, 4, was able to go to Disney World last year because of fundraisers like this one. Stoltman is participating as a way to give back to Make-A-Wish.
