Thank you for your interest in LifeHike. This is the first year for LifeHike and we are all extremely excited. We are particularly optimistic about this years hike, "A Walk in Virginia" and hope you find our mission worthy of note. Again, we thank you for coming.

Our mission at LifeHike is to assist not-for-profit organizations who's primary goal is to inform the public of often overlooked health concerns. We favor those organizations that demonstrate a proactive approach to physical wellness, disease prevention and a better way of life. LifeHike supports organizations indirectly; we are not interested in your money, nor do we try to raise a certain dollar amount. Our goal is to make you aware of these organizations so you can judge them according to their merits. 

The idea and need for a LifeHike came to me a few months ago as I sat in a field Indian-style blowing on a blade of grass. The mention of an extended hiking trip was fresh in my mind from a conversation I had had the day before. Combine this thought with a long overwhelming sensation that we are all very much alive, but at the same time, introduce an eerie feeling that at that very moment we are all dying, some slower than others. LifeHike was born soon after.

Okay, I now know what LifeHike is, but just Who Are You?
