Hike for The FEW – We at The FEW love two things, the outdoors and helping our nation’s SOF Operators, the Valorous and the Combat Wounded. We are excited to be hosting a fundraising hike that will allow a select group of volunteers to support our cause in a 20+ mile hike along the Ozark Highlands Trail. Hikers will put themselves to the test both physically and mentally as they raise money and awareness for the thousands of veterans who come home only to find themselves struggling to adjust to life outside of combat operations. Statistics show more veterans are dying from suicide, at a rate of 18-22 per day, than in combat operations. You can assist in our mission to save veterans, one life at a time.
The details:
The event will take place March 19th, 2016 near Fort Smith, AR on the Ozarks Highlands Trail. Hikers will arrive at the hotel on Friday, March 18th and a reception dinner/pre-hike briefing will be held at the hotel Friday evening. After a quick breakfast in the early hours of Saturday morning, hikers will be transported to the trail head. Following the hike, we will have a celebratory dinner and hikers will depart Sunday morning.
Safety Briefing:
This hike is physically demanding and should not be underestimated; proper conditioning prior to the event will be crucial. For more information about the trail or the event, please contact us.
How do I sign up?
Do to the nature of this event, we will be limited to 30 hikers so please contact us as soon as possible to reserve your spot.
We will also be looking for a few individuals with extensive hiking experience to act as team leaders for this event. If you can provide support, guidance, or have first aid experience we’d love to discuss that role with you.
