| We've got connections ... | |||
| ... with several non-profit groups that support the activities we do as a club. Whether it's providing insurance coverage to ensure our safety on our club rides, providing us with free snowshoes to use during the winter or building and maintaining the mountain bike trails/x-country ski trails that we use on our adventures, AdventureHers members couldn't be having as much fun without the support of these organizations. Check them out! |

In 2005, several of our club members participated in an adventure to climb Mount Kilimajaro. This adventure was more than a physical activity – it was a fundraiser to raise money and awareness for Souls in Stride. Souls in Stride is a grassroots organization based in West Vancouver, BC committed to raising awareness of the plight of women in war-torn eastern Congo. Despite the 2003 Peace Agreement in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, rape of women and girls is a problem of unprecedented proportions. Since their inception in May 2004, Souls in Stride has raised over $75,000 for Heal Africa, a clinical treatment and learning centre in Goma, DR Congo, where women requiring reconstructive fistula surgery, rehabilitation and counselling after rape can go for treatment. Our club members visited the Heal Africa clinic after completing their fundraising climb. Since climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, AdventureHers club members have embraced Souls in Stride as our very worthy charity of choice. |
