Last year, I got involved for the first time with raising funds for the East Coast Trail Association. As I indicated at the time, the trail system is a fantastic asset comprising over 330km of developed hiking and walking trails along the coast of the Avalon Peninsula, ranging from easy, family-oriented walks to strenuous treks. The trails attract visitors from around the world but, more importantly, they are an incredible resource for local individuals and groups wishing to connect with the incredible natural scenery to be found here. The hikers and walkers also provide important revenue for communities scattered along the trails. Maintaining this resource takes a lot of effort from the volunteers of the Association these efforts require funding from a variety of sources, including this 'once-a-year' fundraiser.
The response I received last year was heart-warming and exceeded my expectations so I am reaching out again this year, once more casting a wide net to a long list of potential sponsors. I hope you will consider supporting me in this effort either because it's me or because supporting such a valuable outdoor resource appeals to you (or both).
