'Beerdra' Hikes

Venture along with me & support Boulder Crest!

About Me: 

Deirdre or 'Beerdra' Here! I began long distance hiking in 2013 with the completion of every step of the Appalachian Trail. From there, my hiking adventures continued with the completion of the Pacific Crest Trail in 2015, Mountains to Sea Trail in 2018, and Oregon Coast Trail in 2019. Wanting to do more with my efforts, I began fundraising and giving back to different organizations with each venture!

On April 22nd, 2022, I set off hiking the Ice Age Trail in Wisconsin covering 1,200 miles in (hopefully) about 4 months! Through this venture, I will be supporting Boulder Crest Foundation and their transformational efforts in mental health and wellbeing for our military and first responder communities. Please help me make a difference in the lives of combat veterans, first responders, and their families by donating below! 

About Boulder Crest:

Boulder Crest Foundation is a national 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to the mental health and wellbeing of our nation's military and first responder communities. Through their transformative programming based on the science of Posttraumatic Growth, Boulder Crest provides struggling warriors with the tools they need to transform their struggle into strength in the aftermath of trauma. Their holistic and adaptive take on healing guides combat veterans, first responders, and their families on their journey to work through traumatic and combat-related stress.
