Char

I'm Char Bloom. I have the good fortune to be the mother of Molly, Jordan and Jeremy and daughter of Donna Wheeler. I always knew that children learn from a parent but I never imagined how much I would learn from them. To see how much my children love their grandmother, how connected they are to their family, how they are determined to give of themselves is a constant inspiration to me. I could not be prouder of the young adults they have become. When my son, Jeremy, told me about his plans to start a foundation in honor of his living grandmother, I was very moved.

I have experienced, firsthand, what happens when you take a passion and mix it together with the desire to live a life of service to others. I know amazing things...magical things happens. I believe it is the recipe for the essence of life.

In my personal life and career, I attempt to empower women by sharing with them my love and expertise of nature and the outdoors. Much of my life is spend on the rivers and waterways of our planet, rowing through rapids, casting a fly rod, catching and safely releasing beautiful rainbow trout. One hundred percent of the money I raise teaching, guiding and sharing my adventures is donated to women's shelters in an effort to help them and their children live better lives. I want the families to know that I believe in them enough to donate my skills and time to help them achieve success. Many of these people have never had that kind of support. I believe we all need to help each other to live our best lives. Believing that we can never give as much as we receive in return has certainly been proven as I have been greatly enriched by the women and children I have met.

I feel privileged to serve as Coordinator of the "Wish of a Lifetime" program. The idea of seeing the faces of the elderly light up because they know we care is very exciting to me. To have a son who wants to dedicate much of his life to bringing wishes and dreams to our senior citizens is a true blessing. This will be an inspirational journey for our family.

We invite you to join us.
