A Trail that unifies 🍁

Dear <<First Name>>,

This issue shows how sharing an experience on the Trail benefits everyone.

The photos you took as you turned your #Blahs2Ahhhs made our winter photo challenge a ton of fun. Every day I looked forward to seeing the sights that caught your eye across the country and – wow - did you deliver!

In a feature article on the JourneyWoman website, our very own Trisha Kaplan and Pathfinder Sonya Richmond offered their recommendations for the best trails to hike across the country as part of an expert panel.

Teaming up to achieve a shared goal is so motivating and we’re happy to be part of Tim Hortons® Foundation Camps’ “Coast to Coast for Camp Day” fundraiser. Participants are teaming up to raise funds that will support and empower youth. You can join in the fundraising effort too, hiking locally and combining distances virtually with people across the country to cover the full distance of our beautiful Trail.

I look forward to hearing many more stories from the time you spend on the Trail!
