I am participating in Hike-a-thon this year after learning about it from seasoned Hike-a-thoner Les Rust. I am passionate about the outdoors, and this seemed like a good way to support conservation in Tennessee: https://tenngreen.org/ My primary outdoor activities are hiking, kayaking, camping, skiing, and fishing. Hike-a-thon runs through the month of April and you can sponsor me by a one-time donation, a donation per mile (hiking/kayaking), a donation per hike, or by signing up yourself at https://campaigns.tenngreen.org/event/hike-a-thon2025/. I'm not particular interested in the competition aspects or winning prizes. I will post updates to Hike-a-thon for completed hikes and paddles. Mileage-wise, I'm mostly limited to weekends when free or shorter hikes after work, and the occasional weekday off, so sponsoring by the mile is probably not a huge investment. Any contribution is welcome.
