Join me each Sunday morning to hike a different trail throughout Kentucky.

Everyone is encouraged to participate in at least one hike, for several reasons:

1 - to partake in loving the Haitians during their difficult road to recovery after the earthquake

2 - to meet people within the Louisville community

3 - to increase health through exercise

4 - to gain familiarity with Kentucky's nature

5 - to open oneself to nature's invitation to peace

Each Sunday hike will vary in mileage, but for every mile we hike local businesses will agree to donate money to Haiti's recovery. To show our thanks they can advertise in the weekly pamphlets about each hike.

The organization through which we give the money to Haiti is not decided yet. I'm considering The American Red Cross or The Salvation Army. I'm taking suggestions of other organizations as well.

Some places we will hit:
Red River Gorge
Mammoth Cave Park
Bernheim Forest
Berea Forest Trails

I'm hoping regular hikers will offer trail suggestions as well.

The weekly hike will leave from Louisville and never extend later than 5 pm and will vary in time and length each week.

There may be a $3-$5 cost each week toward gas costs for drivers. Not a big deal if you can't pay you'll be covered, but if you can that's great!
