Emily’s Hike.. To Save A Life
Hi Everyone,
In November a 19 year old hiker tragically died on the Franconia Ridge while working to complete her NH48 4000 footers list. It took three days for the SARS ( search and rescue) teams to find her due to the winter conditions. This tragedy shocked the hiking community in New Hampshire. As the community came together to support her family, we decided we would collectively finish her remaining peaks in honor of her, and all of the other lives that have been lost in these mountains.
On July 29th, Erik and I, through A Talk In The Woods, will be hiking one of the mountains left on her list through Emily’s Hike To Save A Life. Proceeds will fund hiking safety education, as well as fund the Emily M. Sotelo Persistence and Safety Charitable Foundation, and to local SAR teams. Please consider donating to support this cause!
