Team High Country Outfitters will be participating in the Ultimate Hike, benefiting CureSearch for Children’s Cancer to take place on May 14, 2011. The money we raise will fund and support collaborative research to find a cure for all cancers affecting children. We need your support, so please make a donation to CureSearch for Children’s Cancer. Together, we will Reach the Day when every child with cancer is guaranteed a cure.
This is a true ultimate challenge – on May 14, 2011, Team High Country Outfitters will be hiking 27.5 miles of the Appalachian Trail in one day to raise money and awareness towards finding the cure for children’s cancer, the #1 cause of death by disease in children.
Every day, 35 children are diagnosed with pediatric cancer – 7 of those children will not survive. Cancer is the #1 cause of death by disease in children. Although the cure rate is now 78% – up by 30% in the last 20 years – it is not good enough. Our goal is a 100% cure rate.
We ask for a minimum donation of $27.50 to represent a dollar a mile for the 27.5 miles we will be completing, of course any amount will be appreciated and go to the best of causes, our children.
What an amazing time we had at Boat Rock this year! We couldn’t have asked for better weather. Check out the slideshow below courtesy of our resident photographer Kelly Bussell and also check out
