Team Pokharel: Hiking for Ascend hasn't added a story.
Since 2015, Ascend has been working to empower young women through mountaineering-based leadership training. Originally founded to support the women of Afghanistan, Ascend is branching out and currently working to select a new country to expand into. This new location will become the focus on Ascend's operations.
With the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan last year, Ascend helped evacuate 135 of our program participants and staff. We are in the process of wrapping up their resettlement and creating an Ascend Alumnae Association to keep the young women connected to each other. You can read more about Ascend and our work at www.ascendathletics.org
Each year, Ascend participates in an annual UK trek near London to raise funds, build relationships, and grow the organization. I wanted to do what I could locally to help raise funds since I cannot be in the UK. I've committed to walk 25km (15.5 miles) or more the weekend of September 23-25 (the same weekend the event is taking place overseas) and I'm asking you to consider sponsoring my walk and supporting Ascend by making a donation.
I'd love company on my local hike; if you'd like to join me, private message me. You can choose to fundraise with me, set up your own event, or just come for the exercise.
Any funds raised will go towards our Alumnae Association and continued programming in the new country.
