Hi everyone! My name is Amy Luedtke, and I’m raising money to honor the memory of my mom, Colleen Luedtke. October 22 is the 25th anniversary of my mom's death, so I'm challenging myself to hike 25 miles between October 17-24 (time frame expanded due to weather!) If I'm successful (and even if I'm not) I hope you will consider making a donation to Save The Children. My mom was a teacher for over 40 years so supporting this organization is a great way to keep her spirit alive!

Update: I succeeded! I hiked 14 miles on October 17 and 15.2 on October 23. AND if I define hiking generously and count distance logged in the parking lot walking to and from the bathroom, I hiked at least 15.53 on October 23 which is 25K in one day!
