There are many ways to get involved in the Destination HOPE, starting with registering as a Walker. Walkers get the most out of the experience. Walking as a member of such an extraordinary community will leave you forever changed.

Volunteers might argue that their experience is equally fulfilling, for without the volunteers, there would literally be no event. They pay a registration fee and are present from start to finish (and often before and after!). They are the event's backbone, providing the human support system that keeps everything running and everyone walking. The Volunteers hand out water, tend to any stray blisters or other minor medical needs, mark the route and much, much more. Volunteers are required to register for the Destination Hope and commit to working the entire event.

Volunteers help out in many ways and often start months before the event. We need a few extra pairs of hands in the office during the event planning season to put together mailings, make phone calls, and just generally support the staff. During the event itself, we welcome volunteers who can spare a few hours to help with some of the many and varied tasks involved in making this event run smoothly.

Still want to be more involved? Become a Destination HOPE Volunteer and help to get more people involved in Destination HOPE. You can always make a donation, either to a specific walker or crew member or directly to the Kristin Brooks Hope Center. The KBHC also has other activities supporting their work - more information can be found on the KBHC website www.hopeline.com or at reese@hopeline.com
