“[My husband, Joe Bosshard, and I] started Elk Run 5k with hopes of bringing people to Crested Butte to run in my favorite place on the planet. We also wanted to give back to the community that we love so much. Living Journeys was the obvious choice for us, as I have been connected to them for over a decade.
In high school, I volunteered for Living Journeys, my mom was on the Board for years and the co-founder is one of my dearest family friends. Beyond my personal connection, Living Journeys exemplifies why Gunnison County is such a special place.
Living Journeys purpose is to help members of the community through their hardest times while they are battling cancer. Living Journeys is the support, the care, and the love that makes this community whole.”
Emma Coburn, Olympian and Crested Butte native
When you donate to Living Journeys, you are supporting your friends and neighbors in Gunnison County who are fighting cancer.

With your help, we have big plans in 2021!
We’re going to increase our financial grants budget by 50% and bolster our transportation assistance fund. We’re also going to continue our new food program, which has already provided 2,100 healthy, homemade meals and over 350 boxes of fresh produce to local families. And we’re going to continue supporting our clients, their caregivers, and the bereaved in our community through regular support group meetings and individual therapy sessions.
Help us support our most vulnerable community members and ensure that no one in Gunnison County has to fight cancer alone.
