Through the combined efforts of all of our hikers and some generous matching donors, over $46,000 was raised! We are humbled by the generosity of our participants, and by the generosity of their friends and family. HKE MKE raised important funds to support the Urban Ecology Center's programming that connects youth and adults to nature.

The route’s activity stops included the TMJ4 Storm Chaser in Gordon Park, lawn games the River Revitalization Foundation (RRF), Creation Station for a community mural, Spot the Bird, and the 3 Billion Year Walk. Take a look at how much fun people had along the way:
