Secrest Wardle Partner Michael P. Salhaney Participates in Make-A-Wish Foundation's Annual Wish-A-Mile Bicycle Tour

On July 27, 2017 Michael P. Salhaney, a Partner located in Secrest Wardle's Troy office, and member of the Firm's Municipal, Family Law, and Governmental Litigation Practice Groups, began a three-day, 300 mile bicycle ride as a part of the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Michigan's Wish-A-Mile (WAM) Bicycle Tour.

Mr. Salhaney rode from Traverse City to the Michigan International Speedway on behalf of a Wish Hero named Zachary. He kept the struggles Zachary has endured in mind throughout his journey. The Troy Times published an article, “Troy Attorney Takes His Turns for 300-Mile Trek for Make-A-Wish,” featuring an interview with Mr. Salhaney regarding his participation in the event.

Since 1998, Mr. Salhaney has proudly supported the Make-A-Wish Foundation. He previously served the organization as Food Committee chairman. The Make-A-Wish Foundation of Michigan supports children with life-threatening medical conditions in an effort to help them and their families with Hope, Strength and Joy during their illnesses. Granting wishes supports the children and their families to improve their quality of life.

Employees are encouraged to suggest charities for sponsorship. The Firm has devoted three “Casual Fridays” in 2017 to raising funds for Mr. Salhaney’s passion. Including the Firm’s efforts, over $2,400,000.00 was raised for the Make-A- Wish Foundation of Michigan through the WAM Bicycle Tour!
