Leave a comment

Just as he did with his team in 2023, Ryan Watterson of Watterson Excavation with the help of his wife, Janae Watterson of Salon Kathleen of Enumclaw, Washington, have raised over $3,200 for the benefit of grieving children.

Ryan did 63 miles, 2,100 feet of elevation. The hike was 5.5 mile loop and he did it 10 times in 24 hours. 6am till 6am the next morning. 

WOW!!!

Here are some memorable photos of the hike. We thank everyone who participated!

What an amazing feat!
