Burns Recovered helps burn survivors live without limitations, fear, or insecurity since 1983. Midwest Children’s Burn Camp (MCBC) is one of Burns Recovered many fabulous programs.

Jake and Rachel have been Camp volunteers for a combined nearly two decades! We are both so very passionate about helping burn survivor campers get to camp and have a wonderful experience. We are also both outdoor and adventure enthusiasts and want to challenge ourselves to summit 29029 feet in order to raise money for Burns Recovered.

Our goal is to raise $70,000, or $1,000 for each of the 70 campers who attend MCBC every summer! On average, 70 campers come to MCBC yearly and it costs $2,500 per each camper (a total of $175,000). However, no camper EVER pays ANY money to come to camp. The funding comes from generous donors like you! We are going to challenge ourselves to complete the 29029 event which is hiking the vertical equivalent of Mount Everest in less than 36 hours in honor of our campers that have challenges daily in recovering from their burn injury.

On April 15, 2023, Rachel and Jake will be hosting a Summit for Seventy Benefit at Strathalbyn Farms in Weldon Spring, MO: an elegant night of Bourbon and whiskey tasting, hors d’ oeuvres, desserts, and cigars by the fire!

Please help us reach our “summit” of $70,000 by the summer of 2023!
