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!

To all the donors who wanted to contribute in honor of Ryan and his team for the benefit of the Foundation For Grieving Children, we are so grateful for your generosity!

May you all be blessed abundantly.

We also thank Janae, also our Fundraising Ambassador, for her steadfast devotion to our cause, in memory of her beautiful mother, Kathleen, for whom her salon is dedicated.

If you are in the Enumclaw, Washington area, stop into Salon Kathleen and take advantage of their exceptional services.

In an ingenious fundraiser, Ryan and his wife, Janae who is our Fundraising Ambassador and owner of Salon Kathleen in Enumclaw, Washington, offered to remember us as Ryan participated in Peak 24.

Their efforts raised over $6,000 for grieving children, teens and young adults and we are so grateful.

Janae made a wonderful video at the beginning of the challenge. Watch it here from her instagram page.

Watch as Ryan gives updates to his challenge. Also during the night.

And especially when he finished!

We are so grateful to Ryan, our newest Fundraising Ambassador, and all who participated. What an amazing feat!

We also appreciate Janae and Salon Kathleen’s sponsorship of Ryan. Below is Janae’s wonderful mother, Kathy Rogers, who was killed in a car accident when Janae was a teenager. This picture graces Janae’s office at her salon.
