FH World Sports

I'm backpacking to end world poverty!

On September 3rd, I'll being my 30 day, 272+ mile thru-hike of the Long Trail in Vermont. This backpacking trip will be a personal milestone in my progress as an athlete, and my second thru-hike to date (last year was the John Muir Trail!) . But beyond my personal training goal, I've set a goal to impact the lives of people living in poverty around the world.

I'm completing this trip in collaboration with FH World Sports, a group that organizes and aids athletes in raising funds to end poverty at races and other sporting events. They're associated with Food for the Hungry, a faith-based, non-profit international relief and development organization serving the poor globally since 1971.

For $5500, a hospital will be built.

$2870, a well.

$789, stock a stable.

$431, a cow.

$200, a pig.

$55, a keyhole garden.

$36, 3 bibles.

$25, rid 500 children of worms.

$15, 20 food tree seedlings.

$6, mosquito net.

$2.50, a pair of plastic shoes for a child.

You can join me by making a donation of $100, $50 or any amount. Your donation is tax-deductible, and you will receive a receipt from Food for the Hungry.

Thank you for joining me on this journey of resolving world hunger! Be sure to check out my blog for updates on the trail and other going-ons in my life. https://velvetyoung.wordpress.com/
