Fundraising Hike of the 100 Mile Wilderness

Ryan will be hiking the 100 Mile Wilderness of the Appalachian Trail in February 2025 to raise funds for the Hope Fund of the United Way of the Tri-Valley Area.

The purpose of The Hope Fund is to provide assistance for unmet needs of children in Greater Franklin County, Livermore and Livermore Falls, with a particular emphasis on removing barriers to enable low-income children to engage in a wide variety of enriching experiences in which they would not otherwise be able to participate.

Because the intent of The Hope Fund is to raise aspirations for area youth and expose young people to opportunities they may not otherwise engage in, support will be considered for a broad range of activities. This is not a universal scholarship program, but a program to help families and children with financial barriers.
