Our Story

After teaching a boot camp class, my friend Dee asked me to organize an outdoor walking club. She said after work, the stress was so intense that she’d walk outdoors to clear her head.

A month later, I started organizing hikes.

We laughed, hiked, and always had a good time.

NOW IT’S A MOVEMENT.

The small hikes continued until last year. I was browsing my group posts on FB when I learned that a member and her son had lost their lives to domestic violence.

Immediately, I wanted to DO something. SO, I called Trina Lyons and we took Hiking for Hope to the masses, designing it as a retreat in one’s hometown.

Today, Hiking for Hope includes 1-3 mile hikes, a scavenger hunt, self-love swag bags, and certified instructors who teach dance, yoga, breath work and meditation techniques.

A MISSION TO IMPACT LIVES.

After each hike, a portion of Hiking for Hope proceeds go to a female-driven non-profit. In 2021, we donated funds to PADV in Atlanta, GA, an organization that supports survivors of domestic abuse.

For 2022, a portion of the proceeds will go to I-Vets, a non-profit thrift store who donates proceeds to veteran and active duty mental illness programs.

    This was an amazing event with a great cause linking various people from different walks of life to experience new adventures.

  • Michelle S.

    The event was amazing! From the hike, to dance fitness, to yoga, the entire event was beautifully done. My only suggestion is to have salads or some other light meal after the event since the program usually ends early afternoon and people are most likely hungry after a long day. I had a great time.

  • ELETHIA GAY

    HIKING 4 HOPE TEAM

    Greetings! I'm Elethia (also known as Coach E). When I say, “I have been where you are,” I’m talking about getting up at 5 am, and getting home by 7 am. Showering and arriving at school by 8. Then working 8 hours until it’s time to drive home completely exhausted. Only to do it all over again the next day.

    If your routine is similar, your health (mind and body) is essential. It’s also why the reason I coach. From designing programs for corporations to individuals, I help you arrive at your point of self-healization. Using strength training, yoga, or grounding while in nature, I lead you to the path of healing and realizing you are enough.
