Saturday, May 16 twelve hardy souls completed the Ed Poling Memorial HARC Challenge Hike, traversing 10 or 20 miles of the Appalachian Trail in Maryland. The terrain was tough, but the weather was beautiful, spirits were high, and we were blessed with great support from our hospitality team. We exceeded our fundraising goal for the Challenge Hike with $10,828 raised (and still counting), which becomes $32,484 with the 2-1 match from the God’s Grace Fund!! See more pictures on our Hike Facebook page.
A big thanks to all who participated and raised funds, donated to support hikers and the cause, and/or volunteered: Kyle, Beth, Deacon Sue, and Linda (support team & food prep), Ted (Hike Leader).
We’re not done yet! You can still join the fun with a 5K or 10K hike on the C&O Canal towpath May 30.
