Jim Wersching was passionate, kind, larger than life, and truly believed in the mission of HHPLift. He passed away too soon in May of 2022, but each year we are committed to raising critical funds for HHPLift in his memory. October 21 will be our 5th annual 5k Run/Walk, the second in honor of Jim, and we hope that you will join us as a fundraiser, donor, or runner.

On October 15, 2022, we hosted our annual 5K Race to Spark Change. But this year, it meant more than ever and was in memory of Jim Wersching, our VP of Sales who passed away this year. Jim was kind, passionate, and larger than life. He loved the Beatles. And he cared deeply about HHPLift and every member of the HHPLift team. It is our hope that we can continue to live up to his high expectations and dreams for what HHPLift can achieve.
