Hank’s Journey

05/21/2026

Allow me to reintroduce you to the person behind our diligent efforts and fundraising initiatives. This is Hank, an outstanding individual with a strong family background. A Burlington native, Hank was raised by his parents and grandparents, and he is grateful to have met his loving wife, Christi. Together, they have raised three wonderful boys, and Hank is also a proud cat parent. Following the loss of my father, Hank and his wife provided me, Maddie, with love and support. Having lost his own father, Hank understands the pain of loss, and we have formed a bond over our shared experiences. Professionally, Hank is a dedicated cashier at Cap n' cork, a family-owned business. In his free time, he enjoys activities with his family and appreciates the simple things in life. Hank's recent kidney failure diagnosis has been difficult, and 'Hank's Journey' and 'Hank's Kidney Fund' were created to share updates and seek support. I invite you to join us and contribute to Hank's care.
