Goal: $1,000.00
$805.00 donated
I am going to hike the 135 mile Northville placid trail in upstate NY to raise awareness for mental health. Hiking and being in nature has helped me over the years and I hope that I can help others by helping myself .
Would you will consider making a donation, leaving a message, or sharing this page?
Thank you.
Bill

I’ve dealt with depression most of my life and being outdoors has been the best therapy for me. Glad you’re spreading the word about mental health and how backpacking can help people cope.
