a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to alleviating the suffering of mental illness.

They organize hikes to promote the benefits of hiking while funding mental health research and trail conservation. As an all-volunteer group, they direct 100% of the funds raised from their hikes to their mission.

In December of 2024, I lost a friend I grew up with. He had an energetic and playful approach to life and died too young. Please consider supporting his family as they cement his legacy.

Movember is a charity that raises funds and awareness for men's health issues, primarily focusing on mental health, suicide prevention, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer.

Typically men grow mustaches throughout November to symbolize the cause, and the movement encourages conversations and actions around these important health concerns. 

I plan on growing out my mustache (maybe even my full beard) for one of the months I am on the trail.

This one is pretty self explanatory…
