Hiking for Hope: A Personal Journey for Mental Health Awareness
I’m participating in this hike to raise awareness and support for mental health—a cause deeply personal to me. Mental illness has touched my own life, and the lives of those I love most—family members, dear friends, and countless others silently carrying this invisible burden.
I’ve witnessed firsthand how mental health struggles can affect not just the individual, but entire families. It can be an overwhelming cross to carry, especially when there is so little understanding or support. Too often, mental illness is dismissed, misunderstood, or overlooked—despite being just as real and debilitating as any physical disease.
Through this hike, I hope to shed light on the reality of mental health challenges and help ensure that no one has to suffer alone or in silence. Every step I take is for those who are still fighting, those we’ve lost, and those who deserve to be seen, heard, and helped.
Your support means more than you know. Together, we can break the stigma and fund the research and resources needed to bring hope and healing to so many.
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.
