Hiking with Starr for Mental Health
If you are Michelle Moshinskie, log in to update your page.

Goal: $10,000.00

$10,800.00 donated
I chose to join a hike with HIKE for Mental Health to help stamp out the stigma of mental illness and conserve wilderness trails. Help me, Michelle “Starr” Moshinskie, reach for the stars by supporting these very important causes. I’m striving to raise $10,000 as I complete a thru-hike on the 2,193.4-mile Appalachian Trail.
1 in 4 families is affected by mental illness.
HIKE for Mental Health is a recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded on the vision of a world in which everyone, including those who suffer mental illness, can find the simple joy of living.
Our mission is to alleviate the suffering of those afflicted by mental illness, eliminate the associated stigma, and foster responsible use of wilderness trails.
As an all-volunteer organization, we distribute 100% of contributions raised by our hikes.
- 80% funds scientific research to understand and treat mental illness
- 20% conserves national wilderness trails
Your donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by the IRS. Thank you for your support.
