Take The Trip Foundation Podcast
Inspired by one woman’s journey, zest for life, and mission to pay it forward, Take The Trip Foundation sends young families impacted by terminal illnesses on one special adventure together, leaving loved ones with cherished memories to carry with them, always.
Cissy and Jason Carroll were called to start Take The Trip Foundation when they were gifted an amazing vacation by a selfless human that Cissy had known 20 years prior. Despite Cissy’s recent devastating health diagnosis and being given 3-6 months left to live, she still has the desire to spread joy and hope to other families in similar circumstances. By making this dream a reality for 50 families annually, TTTF will help create cherished memories for loved ones while also giving inspired community members everywhere the opportunity to pay it forward through volunteer efforts and charitable contributions.
Join us on this incredibly inspiring journey through our Podcast, as we talk to the people who have built and are impacted by this foundation. Buy the shoes, take the trip, eat the cake.
