Help Marina raise money

I'm hiking for her! To open doors for those who are not as free as I am to go outdoors and access all that beauty and opportunity for growth. 

Girls who participate in athletics, including hiking and climbing, stay in school longer, marry later, and report higher levels of confidence than girls who don't. When girls are empowered, the whole society benefits. 

But many girls have no safe way to access outdoor sports. I started Ascend in 2014 to create pathways for those girls who don't have equal opportunity in this way. Over the years I have heard from our alumnae countless times that the Ascend program played a profound role in improving their lives. So let's keep it going!  

The funds I raise through Hike for Her will support girls in Pakistan & Afghanistan to exercise & build confidence in their bodies & minds. 

Thank you for your generosity.
