Great Divide Trail FKT attempt

Having the opportunity to be outside in nature has completely shaped my life. I'm so grateful to live in the Canadian Rockies and to be able to so easily access the mountains and the joy of recreating outside. For many youth though, getting outside, being in nature and being physically active is a challenge. Since 2019 I've been on the Board of Crossing the Divide, which provides disadvantaged youth opportunities for personal growth through outdoor education.

In July 2021 I'll set off on a great adventure, to hike The Great Divide Trail (GDT) in only 21 days, something no one has ever done before. I'll be wandering through the vast wilderness of the Canadian Rocky Mountains for more than 1100 kilometres. Adding to the challenge, the GDT is not officially designated and not always even an actual trail, sometimes merely a wilderness route. 

Given the opportunities that being outside has given me, I'm hoping to collectively support Crossing the Divide in the process through generous donations
