Stroke of Light presents
5th Annual Hike for Jenny
About Us
We hike for Jenny
Jenny has always loved the outdoors — the quiet strength of the trail, the steady rhythm of moving forward. After her stroke, her friends and family came together in the simplest way they knew how: by walking beside her.
What began as a small, grassroots hike organized out of love has grown into an annual tradition rooted in community, resilience, and hope. Each year, we gather to honor Jenny’s strength and support her ongoing recovery journey.
All funds raised through Hike for Jenny are dedicated solely to Jenny’s recovery. Every step we take is a reminder that she is never walking alone.
Jenny's Story
As many of you know, Jenny, an avid traveler and hiker, suffered a major stroke on January 25, 2022, at just 33 years old. She continues her long and challenging recovery, working hard every day to regain her speech and mobility.
In 2023, Jenny's outpatient therapy at Spalding Rehabilitation, covered by insurance, came to an end. Thankfully, thanks to the incredible generosity of donors, she has been able to continue her recovery. Jenny's weekly therapies consist of 4 hours at Journey Forward, 7 hours of private in-home therapy (music, speech, OT, PT, and physiotherapy) and 1 hour of acupuncture.
The costs of private therapy has put a financial strain on her family, and we are truly grateful for the continued support they have received through the Hike for Jenny Initiative.
There are several ways you can help:
Make a donation or join the hike
Create a team to assist with fundraising efforts
Donate to an existing team member
As Jenny makes progress in her recovery, we invite you to join us once again for our annual "Hike for Jenny" fundraiser, hosted by her family and friends.
We are deeply thankful for your ongoing support, donations, and prayers. Jenny's determination is unwavering, and one day she will hike with us again!
