Women's hike to benefit domestic victims

The three-day Wilderness Heals Annual Pledge Hike is one of New England's most challenging all-female fund-raising hikes.

Join fellow women, July 18 through 20, for a hike through New Hampshire's White Mountains to help raise $125,000 for the Elizabeth Stone House in Boston, Mass. The Stone House serves women and their children who have experienced mental illness, domestic violence and substance abuse. Choose from four trail options, including a backcountry option. Three out of the four routes offer hikers overnight accommodations in AMC huts. Each team of four to six women will include an experienced team leader. The fundraising minimum is $1,200 to participate. Hiker registration fee is $50 and the deadline is June 20.
