Visual Bucket List
Upon receiving the news that he would be losing his sight, Jared created a mission to see everything he could before that happens so he can live with those memories forever. Here are a few of the things left on the list and ones we have accomplished. We will update as soon as more are crossed off.
What's left on the list:
1 / Throwing out the first pitch at a MLB game
Jared will be crossing this off thanks to the Miami Marlins on May 31st, 2024.
2 / Throwing out the first pitch for his hometown team
The Las Vegas Aviators have granted Jared the opportunity to throw out the first pitch July 20th.
3 / Visit ESPN
Jared is still on a journey to make this happen.
4 / Meet Garth Brooks
Garth's music has been a big part of Jared's life. Meeting him just to tell him how much his music means to him would be an honor.
5 / Go on a cruise
Jared has always wanted to experience a cruise and we currently have one booked for 2025.
There are still many things on the list, but those are some we are working on accomplishing currently.
