Here are the four causes that are nearest to our hearts this summer. These organizations support the movements that we are hiking to help! Join us by pledging whatever amount you would like per mile we hike and supporting any or all of the following.
Click the images below to give…
…because we long for equality and a country where all are truly free.
…because we want to support the scientists fighting COVID-19.
…because our family has enough to eat, and we wish all families did.
…because we want all people to have access to affordable mental health care.
Comment below if you’re pledging to support any of these great causes as we hike. Your name and chosen organization(s). Please no listing of dollar amounts.

Made a donation to “Black Lives Matter”. We were all created equal and it’s so sad that some people are judged by the color of their skin. We are all different and need to celebrate diversity! I look forward to KNEP Hikes. I see such love and joy. Makes my heart smile!!

I am pledging to Journey Mental Health. This is a local agency that does great work for our local youth, it is wonderful that KNEP Hikes have selected them as one of your donation organizations. I have worked with them for years as they are one of the Oregon School District’s Mental Health partners. Oh and I can’t tell you how many CBITS assessments I have scored through the years! 🙂
I can’t begin to tell you how inspired I have been (and continue to be) with following all of your hiking adventures. I know I don’t need to tell you all the amazing life skills, love for God’s creation, and so much more that you are developing in your children and learning as a family….BUT holy cow is it impressive! I started following the blog mid summer, but now am all caught up and look forward to read your hiking adventure posts!
I miss you and Nick and seeing the kids, I am delighted that Nick is a Deacon!
Love to you!
