In August 2022, I’m hiking the John Muir Trail which is 211 miles starting in Yosemite and ending my hike at Mt. Whitney. As a Psychology major one thing that I value is mental health. The pandemic has been challenging for everyone's mental health. When deciding that I wanted to do this hike, I thought to myself, how can I help someone else. The first thing that popped into my mind was underrepresented marginalized youth. I can only imagine how challenging the last couple of years has been for them. This is why I wanted to donate this hike for a better cause. 100% of the fundraising money will go to The Trevor Project, and any donation will help make an impact.

 

Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause which means so much to me.
