Deserving Senior Achieves His Lifelong Dream

George Hetrick has always marveled at the wonders of nature and his lifelong goal was to hike the Grand Canyon. He is a family man through and through, and has made many sacrifices to build a happy and loving home in Womelsdorf, PA. As he’s gotten older, physical limitations have made his dream seem impossible. According to his family, “George Hetrick definitely does not take life and experiences for granted.
