All About the Trail 2023

This years recipient of fucus is the Appalachian Trail Conservancy.  This was a big part of Blazes recovery and mental health journey. Over 3 million people use the trail annually and roughly 10,000 people through-hike the 2190 miles of the trail in six months.  

There are many ways one could donate to the charity through Take a Hike, Blaze the Trails.  Direct donations are of course the impactful.  Also by sporting the Non-Profit Store at: https://www.etsy.com/shop/TakeaHikeandBlaze?ref=shop_sugg_market

Trail hiking and through-hiking has helped many people.  From veterans of the armed forces to high school graduates that want an adventure before going off to collage or join the work force.
