About this episode
Send us a text In this episode, we have the pleasure of talking to Lauren and Kris, two passionate individuals dedicated to making a difference in the fight against childhood cancer. Lauren, the Community Engagement Manager at CureSearch, plays a vital role in organizing the incredible Ultimate Hikes events. These events are not just breathtaking outdoor adventures; they also raise funds to support CureSearch's mission of finding cures for children's cancer, the leading cause of death by disease in children. Kris, the COO of Connect & Hike, has a personal connection to the cause. Not only did he participate as a hiker in the Central Texas Ultimate Hike, but he will also be volunteering at the PCT Ultimate Hike event and hiking the Ultimate Hike Fall event on the Foothills Trail. Together, Lauren and Kris share their insights on CureSearch's mission and the impact of Ultimate Hikes in advancing research and providing hope to families affected by childhood cancer. They also give us a glimpse into what participants can expect when they join one of these awe-inspiring and impactful events.
