Hiker, Duanne Elliott, will be hiking for 500 miles on the Colorado Trail. He has made this even more personal by raising money for The Friends of Stokes Shelter (FOSS). This non-profit animal adoption center is close to his and his wife, Wendy’s, heart. He will be flying out to Denver Colorado on July 1st to get ready for his journey that will begin on July 3rd. The hike will begin in Denver and will end in Durango. He will be making post to his YouTube page (https://youtube.com/@dauneelliott?si=8Uw69lN88R5SVBZB) along this amazing journey. We can follow along and see some sites while he is on this adventure. You can make a one time donation, pledge a certain amount per mile or even get set up with recurring donations.

FOSS opened on 2/29/2020. The only place that they acquire their adoptable animals is from the local county kill shelter. This helps decrease the number of euthanasia’s and allows us to place those animals into loving homes. FOSS receives no other funding other than individual donations and a few small grants. Even with this limited source of income, they have been able to save over 1400 animals.

Help YOLO Hiker raise money for FOSS and also be able to go on a 500 mile hike with him.
