Support Haiti - Walking with a purpose! - All Donations will help those in need!


















Support Haiti Hike - Walking with a Purpose! I think by now everyone has seen the sad distruction in Haiti by the multiple earthquakes. It is absolutely disheartening that they have to suffer with a lack of food and water. Their reality right now is our own worst nightmare. Officials estimate that as little as $5 can feed an entire family!

Bring a few dollars and show your support for those who have nothing left, or send it in to T.A.G. and we will place it with all the donations. Every single penny that is donated is going directly to the Love a Child foundation.

We will send in all our donations to the "Love A Child" foundation recommended by CNN and based out of Tampa, Fl.!!!! They couple that runs the foundation have been in Haiti since 1991 and they continue to help local children and orphanages.

"Love a Child Foundation" is a reputable organization and 100% of the donations reaches the intended families.

If you cant make the hike you can still donate by clicking here or on the donate button below:

Background Info:

This lovely and secluded trail has beautiful facilities/visitors center and very little foot traffic at any time. Brooker Creek Preserve is an 8,000-acre, 41-square-mile preserve that comprises part of the Lake Tarpon watershed. The trails are very well maintained, and are home to many types of wildlife. During the last TAG hike, we spotted deer, turkeys, and other wildlife.

       The trails were pretty flooded, so we didn't get to hike nearly as far as originally planned. However, the preserve seemed really nice. I'm definitely going to put it on my list of places to hike when it's dry. Anyway, it was a fun group of people and I really enjoyed meeting everyone.
