ADK Woods Walker’s Hike for Mental Health Fundraiser!
Hey everyone! I have some incredible news for you all: I’m participating in the Hike for Mental Health 2020 #hikeOctober fundraiser! #hikeOctober is a 31-day challenge used to encourage everyone to get out into the woods for a hike or walk during the month of October. I’ve always said that I enjoy hiking because it helps me “clear out my gray matter”, and I imagine many of you also hike because it is great for your mental health as well! This year, I’m participating in #hikeOctober to help raise awareness of mental illness, and reduce the stigma that’s associated with it; as well as to raise money for mental health research and trail conservancy.
This year, maybe moreso than other years, we all need to be sure to keep the conversation about mental health open and positive! Won’t you help me do that? I ask that you considering helping this year’s #hikeOctober fundraiser by doing at least one of the following things:
1.) Donate money to the fundraiser.
2.) Share this message with your friends and family to continue drawing people’s attention to the efforts.
3.) Sign-up to hike and help raise funds on your own through https://www.hikeformentalhealth.org/hike-schedule/hikeoctober/
I want to thank you all for the continued support, and I hope you’ll stick around for what we have planned for our #hikeOctober fundraiser! My goal is to hike at least 75 miles this October — so let’s work together to support people to get outside, and do something awesome!

Keep up the great work Jay!
Good luck, and thanks for doing this. Lost my older brother to suicide in 2004. He and I loved to hike together; including the Adirondacks. Now he hikes with me in spirit.
Remember to get outside and do something awesome!
Keep up the great work Jay! Thanks so much for all you do! Hope to make a subscriber hike one of these years! Guard the hearth back in Saratoga County and if you are ever out in the Finger Lakes let me know! ~ Dave (Plante29)

I am a retired veteran who fully understands the challenges of mental health. Not only for veterans but for so many hikers and people of the world who’s world and lives are being challenged by everyday life. What you guys are doing is awesome.
Hike harder. Barely sweating in these videos 😉
Everyone has their own mountain to climb. Thanks for helping those who can’t do it alone.
