Join us in March of 2022 for a Hikes For Hope to raise funds to grow the Community Garden of Brookhill Wesleyan Church through the work of SOI Coach Kendall Alvey!
The Hikes For Hope program, coordinated by Sports Outreach Institute, will bring together individuals to participate in a virtual walk across Northern Uganda. The funds that are generated during this hike will be utilized to support Sports Outreach Institute in Lynchburg and surrounding areas of central Virginia. The virtual walk is designed to last the month of March and cover 68 miles.
Sports Outreach has partnered with an application platform, Walk The Distance, that tracks your steps via your mobile phone or fitness tracker. By utilizing the fitness or health app, the steps are transferred directly to a map of Uganda that we created for the walk. Approximately every 5 miles there is a milepost that has inspirational quotes, scripture or videos. As an individual walks or runs in their own surroundings in the US, the steps are recorded, and progress is made on the map in Uganda.
