Exploitation exists in many forms but slavery through sex trafficking hides in the darkness. We know it is out there, yet it is amorphous and hard to put our hands around.
I volunteered with this effort last year and this year I am joining as an athlete to climb one mountain a day for 3 days in a row to raise funds and help end this injustice.
Let's join together in doing what we can by supporting these two organizations who rescue and help restore the dignity of those trapped in trafficking. Your financial and moral support will bring new life and hope to the victims and to the organizations that are working to end this!
Thank you in advance for your support!

THE PROBLEM
Sex Trafficking is one of the fastest growing criminal industries in the world. Here in Canada, this crime takes place daily in our biggest cities and our smallest towns. The average victim of sex trafficking is recruited into the industry between the ages of 11-14. As you read these words, an estimated 50 million people are living in slavery. Stripped of their safety, dignity and liberty. This is nearly 1 in 150 humans. It's already illegal, now it needs to end.
THE MISSION
Our mission is to end the crime of sex trafficking by helping ordinary people stand with local and global anti-trafficking initiatives. Together we raise funds and awareness for our partner organizations as they fight sexual exploitation by Preventing trafficking, Rescuing victims, and Restoring survivors.
THE CHALLENGE
This August, Climbers will take on the elevation of Everest, here in the Canadian Rockies, at the 5th annual Freedom Everest Freedom Challenge. 100% of the proceeds will go to our partner organizations: Her Victory and International Justice Mission. Since our inception in 2020, over 1200 contributors have been involved in raising over $325,000 through our annual Everest Freedom Challenge. Now, we invite you to join the Groundswell too.
All proceeds go to carefully selected organizations.
