The AFSP Mississippi Hike for Hope is a self-paced fundraising activity that incorporates self-care and hiking challenges. 
All registered participants will receive a BINGO card via email with their fundraising toolkit.  The BINGO cards list different hiking trails and self-care activities to complete. Participants can choose from an easy, moderate or difficult hiking trail level BINGO card. The card will include step-by-step instructions and what to do after a participant has completed a hike or a self-care activity during the month of June.

Help make this event a success by inviting your friends to join you for an event where we recognize that mental health is physical health!
And enjoy the beauty of the outdoors throughout the great state of Mississippi! 

Raise $100 or more to receive your official Hike for Hope t-shirt!
