A local resident. whom many know as the Healthy Hiker, has began a 900km trail-hike, from Niagara Falls to Tobermory to raise funds for My Friend’s House.
Linda Murphy will hike along the Bruce Trail 6 days a week for 8 weeks along the Niagara Escarpment – almost 70,000 feet of elevation! Linda will hike through dense forest, along rugged cliff-edges, across streams and rivers, carrying everything she needs on her back to camp along the way.
While facing challenges that come with a long hike, Linda will also raise funds and awareness for women and children who are fleeing gender-based violence.
Linda hopes to raise $50,000 for My Friend’s House, and other shelters like it, that house and counsel victims of domestic violence, across Canada.
