Why I Hike for Kids

I believe that all children deserve to learn, play and grow outside, which is why on Saturday, October 21, I plan to #TakeAHikeForKids to support Blue Sky Fund, a local Richmond nonprofit that connects youth to the outdoors.

Blue Sky provides over 42,000 hours of outdoor time for 2,000 Richmond youth, 79% of whom come from under-resourced. communities and a majority of whom identify as youth of color. Through resilience building, leadership development, and outdoor science education, they work to advance equity in the outdoors by developing diverse groups of environmental stewards and leaders in our community.

You can help by choosing to #TakeAHikeForKids with me this October! Here is how…
