Rick Dougherty is a member of the BTSADV blog team and he is getting ready to make an incredible journey in an effort to raise awareness of domestic violence. Rick, along with all of us here at BTSADV, would like to invite you to be a part of his incredible journey to raise awareness and support our Legacy Run Scholarship Program.
The EPIC journey Rick is embarking on is called The Ireland Way. This pilgrimage will take him across the pond to hike 1,000 km (620 miles) trek starting in the rugged south-west coast of the Emerald Isle up all the way up into Northern Ireland.
The Ireland Way takes many hikers roughly forty days and is a test of determination, inner-strength, and perseverance in the face of great adversity. These are the characteristics that have helped Rick, a survivor of child abuse, and so many other incredible survivors of domestic violence.
Rick’s journey has already begun and we encourage you to follow his social media links to learn some interesting tidbits about Rick and his preparation for The Ireland Way. Learn why he chose Ireland, how he worked seven jobs to save enough money for the trip, what he is doing for his training regimen, and what his wife thinks about his desire to hike over 600 miles a world away.
There are so many ways to donate to the cause and help Rick meet his goal to raise $10,000 as he hikes his way to Break the Silence Against Domestic Violence to benefit the Legacy Families Scholarship Fund.
You can donate to the cause, walk (or run) a virtual 5k, or you can build you own team to #walkWithRick in your very own virtual 5k event.
Please join Rick on his journey by following his social media pages for updates and events to come, and share his journey with your friends and family. Together, we can all #WalkWithRick to #BreakTheSilence.
