In memory of Taru Jehkonen

In Memory of Taru Jehkonen:

8-24-1968 to 5-13-2021

Today, we remember an extraordinary member of our design team who departed this world in 2021. Her name is Taru, and she resided in Finland. We recognize her remarkable talent and the invaluable contributions she made to our team!

Taru joined Challenge YOUrself in June 2015.  

Here's a paragraph that she shared when she joined our design team.

Taru was a truly talented and friendly member of our design team for 6 years, from 2015 - 2021. We could always count on her to create something amazing for our challenges, no matter how she was feeling!

Here are two of her beautiful projects:

Rest in Peace, dear friend.
