Abby on the AT: Fundraising for Venture Out

It’s taken me 22 years (my whole life) to start accepting my gender and sexuality. The outdoors has always felt like somewhere I can be myself. I want to give this gift of freedom and acceptance to other people in the LGBTQ+ community, so I will be raising money to benefit the Venture Out Project Inc. Any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause!

More information about Venture Out Project Inc: To provide a safe and fun space for queer, trans, and LGBTQ+ people to experience the outdoors & to provide education and support that helps schools and organizations affirm their LGBTQ+ community members.

The path to self-acceptance begins with a single step (or in my case, 2,190 miles). Let’s help someone take that first step today.
