The past few days I have been volunteering at Camp Victory Junction in Randleman, North Carolina. Victory Junction is a summer camp for terminal ill and/or chronically ill children. This place isn't like any other summer camp I've been to or worked at before. It's more like Disneyland in the middle of no where but for these children it's the only time in their lives they can be completely carefree kids. Instead of being poked and prodded in hospitals the tables are somewhat turned. They have all the power, when they wanted to dye my hair blue they did, when they wanted to get on stage and sing or tell jokes they did, when they wanted to ride horses and shoot bows & arrows they did. These children are not usually seen as the "cool" kids but they are able to come to summer camp and thrive in a judgement free zone and have the support of an amazing team of people ranging from cabin counselors to nurses and doctors to professional NASCAR drivers and pit crews. But none of this would be possible without the numerous sponsors Victory Junction gets each and every year, the sponsors are the ones who financially support the campers and their incredible experience.
Similarly to Victory Junction people and companies supported Leena and I throughout our endeavors with Climbing4MS. Not only did our supporters donate money and products but they gave us encouragement and helped us to believe in ourselves. We would not have been able to commit to the presentations, raffles, benefit shows, etc. without the support from our sponsors who in turn helped us raise more money. So check these companies out and thank them when you see them because we couldn't have done it without their support!!! A HUGE THANK YOU to....
