Seahawks mascot Blitz's 'Kicks 4 Kids' scoot across Washington state begins Monday

KING 5's Madison Wade is joining Blitz for the first part of his scoot to raise money for kids in the Pacific Northwest.

SEATTLE — Every year, Seattle Seahawks' ultimate 12 Blitz makes a trek from Idaho across Washington state to raise money to help kids in the Pacific Northwest. 

Blitz's annual Kicks 4 Kids scooter ride kicks off on Monday and is expected to end at Lumen Field this upcoming weekend. 

Kicks 4 Kids is a charitable program started by Blitz, the best mascot in the National Football League. 

Net proceeds will go directly to organizations and communities in the Seattle-Tacoma area and across the country that support kids and families in need. 

KING 5's Madison Wade will scoot with Blitz for the first leg of the journey. 

Blitz' fundraiser started strong during Seahawks training camp to help families in Hawaii after devastating and deadly wildfires. 

Blitz tweeted on Friday: "12s!  I need your help!  All donations to Kicks4Kids today and tomorrow at the game are towards shoes for the kids affected by the horrible tragedy in Maui!  I’m challenging every 12 to donate $1. Spread the word! Let’s Go! Donate https://shwks.com/l4yapu"

This year Blitz will rally his friends and family of 12s near and far to help reach his goal of donating 5,000 pairs of shoes.
