What an amazing day, filled with laughter, friendship, support, and above all, heroes in all shapes and sizes for the 2025 edition of our annual Hike the Giant hike for mental health at Sleeping Giant State Park.
Thank you to organizers Deanna and Shianne, to all the volunteers, all the hikers and all the supporters and donors.
The weather threatened but held off long enough to complete the hike, and the gray skies were outshined by splashes of orange – on shirts, tutus, capes, bandanas, lanyards, hats, and on the smiles of the children.
Counting matching and corporate gifts, the hike raised nearly $3,500 for brain & behavior research and wilderness trail conservancy!
More importantly, it raised the spirits of all in attendance and reminded that despite the inner battles we all face, we are all able to be heroes for others.
