Organiser's Description
PURPOSE
The purpose of this Virtual Hike-a-Thon is to raise funding for our 2024 Ambassador program. Our Ambassadors host free monthly group hikes, lead workshops, support our annual retreats, and most importantly, facilitate group experiences that allow women to be seen, heard, and celebrated among their peers.
We currently have 8 active Ambassadors that reach approximately 400 women via in-person events annually. Our goal for 2024 is to expand to 20 Ambassadors, more than doubling our reach, to approximately 1,000 women per year.
All funds raised will allow us to train and equip our Ambassadors with all the necessary tools and resources needed to create space to allow healing for the women we connect with.
WHY
According to the American Psychological Association, 70% of adults in the U.S. reported experiencing stress that had a significant impact on their physical and mental health - with women bearing the brunt of this number. It has been proven that time outdoors can reduce stress or symptoms of depression. Studies have also shown that individuals with social support reported lower levels of stress and better mental well-being.
We Hike to Heal, Inc. was founded to provide an alternative pathway to healing for women. Through guided outdoor activities, we offer our participants unique and powerful opportunities to experience respite, connection, and community. The work that we do directly contributes to the improved well-being of the women within our community and we need your help to expand our reach. We are hosting our first annual Community Hike-A-Thon this fall. In an effort to raise $50,000 to support the expansion of our programming. Your partnership will undoubtedly allow us to reach more women, bringing us closer to realizing our vision.
VISION
Our vision is to build an inclusive community that normalizes self-care, and connection with nature, and creates sacred spaces for healing and adventure. We hope to show women how to prioritize themselves, their mental health, and their emotional well-being.
