Hiking the AZT : 800mi to support Utah’s Trans Community

Hi, my name is Kyle! I am thru hiking 800 miles on the Arizona Trail (AZT), from Mexico to Utah, and asking folks to sponsor me, per mile, to support my local trans nonprofit, Genderbands.

In the wake of the adversity the trans community is facing, I am looking to support them in anyway that I (we!) can!

Genderbands is a local nonprofit in Utah dedicated to helping individuals in our community. Their mission is simple : to help transgender people pay for transition-related costs

You can sponsor my effort for as little as 1 cent per mile, which translates to just an $8 donation. All proceeds will go to Genderbands. Please see suggested donations per mile below. Our goal is to reach $10/mile!

Let’s come together to support our trans neighbors and family. Your contribution will help ensure that everyone has the opportunity to express their true selves. Thank you for your support in making a difference.

Together, we can hike for hope and authenticity! Trans people deserve dignity and respect. Let’s show up up for them!
