My Story – Jesse
I was born with a condition that led to cerebral palsy. I will be 16 at the
end of October. Colorado Dream Hunts is giving me an early birthday
present by taking me on a trophy bull elk hunt.
My Story – Logan
My name is Logan. I am 16 years old. Last August 2021, I began having headaches and vomiting for a couple of days, and then I would feel fine for a couple of weeks. Then I would start having these symptoms every couple of days until I was actually having headaches daily. It wasn’t until the end of October that I was diagnosed with a brain tumor. On November 3rd I went into surgery to have it removed. It was decided that I would have radiation and chemo treatments daily for 1 1/2 months. I got to have 1 1/2 months off before starting my next series of chemo treatments. This time I am on chemo for 5 days then off for 6 weeks.
I am currently attending high school as a junior. I look forward to playing basketball this winter. I am a typical teenager and like to hang out with friends and drive my truck. I also love hunting and fishing. I have hunted deer and antelope, but never elk. I have wanted to go on my own elk hunt and now Colorado Dream Hunts has made that possible. I am super excited to go elk hunting and can’t wait for this trip.

My Story – Lexi
I have muscular dystrophy and a severe case of scoliosis and difficulty
breathing. I have always dreamed of going big game hunting like my parents do and love being outdoors. Colorado Dream Hunts is making my dream come true to go buck hunting this fall.
My Story – McKenzie
Hi! I am McKenzie (Kenzie) Matarozzo; I am 21 years old. When I was three years old, I was diagnosed with limb girdle muscular dystrophy and had to go to Children’s Hospital in Denver every 3-6 months since that time. Being challenged with MD has helped me get through the challenges of everyday life. I am currently studying agricultural science/education at Colorado State University and I am an entrepreneur raising miniature therapy horses.
I have always wanted to go hunting like my parents and sister, but my limited mobility made it difficult and the thought of hunting a bull elk in the terrain my family hunts would be impossible. Fortunately with the help of Colorado Dream Hunts and Colorado Parks and Wildlife, my dream of hunting a bull elk is coming true!
