The hike for WAR

I am hiking the Appalachian Trail and raising money for Women At Risk, International (WAR, Int'l). WAR, Int'l is a great ministry that helps (and helps prevent) victims of human trafficking. Please join this effort to fight against slavery.

My trail name is "Steady-State" I am currently hiking the Appalachian Trail, a 2186 mile continuous footpath that stretches from Georgia to Maine. I started this trip on March 14^th 2013 and as of this date (May 24th) I have completed 800 miles of the trail. Please click here to see my first blog post which has some good basic info about hiking the Appalachian trail. 

I will be starting a charity hike to benefit Women At Risk International. 

There are several ways you can join in the effort to help this great ministry

1. Pray for Women At Risk International and the women they are helping

2. Make a pledge for each mile that I hike on the Appalachian Trail

3. Give a one time gift

4. Follow me and maybe send me an encouraging word now and then

Note:

I will not be handling any money for this fundraiser; rather please send all donations directly to Women At Risk International. Give via their website and please remember to write "Steady-State" in the Designation field, this is my trail name (the name I go by on the trial) and will allow them to keep track of how much we raise for them.

Make a pledge

You can pledge any dollar amount per mile. You may for example pledge $0.01 per mile. The trail is 2,186 miles long so please keep that in mind when you are considering how much to pledge. So if I complete the whole trail, $0.01 per mile means you would donate $21.86

Send me a message through my facebook page (Steady-State hike for Women At Risk International) with the following info:

1. Name

2. City/town where you live

3. Your pledge amount in dollars per mile (any amount is fine)

4. Your email

The pledge money will be collected after I complete the trail (or make it as far as I can). I will keep track of how much you pledged and remind you to make a donation on the WAR website but please try to keep track yourself as well.

Please visit the Women At Risk International website to find out more about the work they are doing.

Make a one time donation

1. Go to the Women At Risk International website: https://warinternational.org/donate/

2. In the "Notes about gift" section write "Steady-State"

4. leave the Designation field blank if you want the money to go to their general fund, otherwise choose a program you would like the money to go. 

Follow me!

I will be updating the facebook page on a regular basis with pictures, updates on where I am and how much money has been raised and pledged. I carry a GPS device which I update most days so you can see exactly where I am. Also I have a blog appalachiantrailrob.blogspot.com where I have detailed accounts of what I see each day and the people I meet. Also you can see pictures, lots and lots of pictures on my flickr photostream.
