Give the Gift of Adventure

As we head into our 25th year of healing adventures this holiday season, our goal is to raise $50,000 to help fund transformative experiences for young adults impacted by cancer and MS.

To achieve our goal, we rely on the generous support of donors like YOU to Give the Gift of Adventure. Thank you for making our life-changing work possible!

Joey

Joey, named after the greatest athlete of all time, Joey Chestnut, is a small but mighty miniature dachshund. He joins the lowriders from Louisiana but has quickly become a mountain man – enjoying hiking and snow days. He can often be found tearing apart a fresh roll of toilet paper or collecting sticks in the backyard. With big ears and even bigger dreams, he hopes to join Joey Chestnut in the rankings as a competitive eater.
