LUV Strong = 50 mile hike + 50 mile swim
Please join us and strengthen vulnerable children and women in warzones!
This summer we want to use our love of hiking and swimming to support an organization that is making a tangible difference in the world.
Lift Up the Vulnerable (LUV) protects, educates, and helps to empower vulnerable children and women to be changemakers in their communities. It has been a privilege to witness and participate in the work of LUV for over 10 years! We invite you to join us in supporting real change by making a contribution to our LUV Strong campaign. A gift of any amount will have a direct impact on the lives of hundreds of children and women vulnerable to exploitation in Sudan and South Sudan.
Nathan's goal - I am on a trek to walk 50 miles in one day on the Wissahickon trail system here in Philadelphia. Walking these trails brought me back to life several years ago (you can reach out to me for more of that story). My current plan is to complete this 16 hour trek on June 19, weather permitting.
Melissa's goal - Swimming has brought me great joy for many years now! I look forward to swimming 50 miles over the course of the summer in support of vulnerable children and women!
