Friends and Family-

I am excited to share that I am kicking off a summer of adventure and raising money to support organizations that promote equity in the outdoors -- I hope you will join me by making a donation, posting some encouragement/a note of support on facebook or gofundme, joining me to backpack or do some shorter training hikes, and/or liking/sharing my facebook post!

Backpacking has been an important form of personal healing and growth, exercise, connection with friends and nature, and a way that I have challenged myself over the last 15+ years. I have set a goal to backpack 250 miles this summer and I hope you will support my trip by helping me to raise $2500 for 7 organizations (Outdoor Afro, Black Girls Trekkin, Indigenous Women Hike, Get Out Stay Out, Big City Mountaineers, Native Womens Wilderness, and Latino Outdoors) who have a mission to support and expand equity in the outdoors.

Donate here today to promote equity in the outdoors and help me get started towards my goals this summer!

The hikes I am planning as part of this adventure are:

26 mile 4-pass Loop in the Maroon Bells (Colorado)

19 mile Baker Gulch/Bowen Gulch Loop in the Never Summer Mountains (Colorado)

160 mile Collegiate Peaks Loop (Colorado)

45 mile Cirque of the Towers in the Wind River Range (Wyoming)

35 mile Teton Crest Trail in Grand Teton National Park (Wyoming)

Please donate what you can and follow my journey on my facebook and Instagram pages! Thank you for your support of my adventures and of helping to ensure that everyone has access to the outdoors!
