Hike for Victoria’s Promise
August is one of my favorite months. Notably, summer in Colorado is in whole swing, nature doing her thing making it irresistible to stay inside.
The other day I was hiking with a good friend, and we were chatting about the things that make us excited about an NFT project. One of the Projects that tugged at my heartstrings was the Victoria’s Promise Charity. Foremost my family was and continues to be affected by cancer, primarily the women in my family have been most affected. Thus the strong connection to Victoria’s Promise, empowering young women and their families, through cancer, and beyond. I encourage you to check out their website for more information. Victorias Promise Org.
I was pondering the thought of how I could support the charity and bring attention to the project. More so than buying into the project and making Twitter posts etc.
Every year I like to embark on a summer adventure that's challenging and rewarding. Last year was my first year summiting Long Peak, it’s 15 miles out and back and covers 5,038 feet of elevation gain. 10k feet out and back, to me it was the best adventure of my life.
This year I will be attempting to repeat the Long Peak hike, but for a new reason and motivation! This year I will be hiking for Victoria’s Promise! Similar to a charity marathon, I will be hiking Longs Peak to bring attention to the project! I will be starting at the trailhead at 3 A.M MST to mark the start of this epic adventure! Similar to a marathon there are several points of the hike where I will get cell reception. Kinda-sorta like check-ins for a marathon, I’ll hop on social media, and make a post with some photos of the current progress of the adventure to be minted and raffled off. Penny Crayon the artist for Victoria's Promise has been a huge inspiration for me, I feel so honored to be helped with all of this while I’m hiking. All proceeds will be to benefit the Victoria’s Promise Charity. The hike last year took me 13 hours and 34 minutes to complete. This year I hope to shave a full hour off of my total time! I have always felt that my utility has been to inspire people. I hope that my journey can give a little inspiration, or be able to connect with what I’m trying to accomplish. Above all bring attention to the Victoria’s Promise Charity and the hard work the women do to bring our future generation upwards towards whatever their hearts desire!
