Expedition RISE Patagonia
About the Event
We invite you to be a part of something bigger than yourself. Freedom Fighters are a community of people passionate about ending human exploitation through prevention, response, and recovery initatives. By joining the Expedition RISE Patagonia , YOU are a part of making someone’s freedom story possible.
Together, the Patagonia team will train for 5 months, the team collectively will fundraise $20,000*, and trek approximately 90 miles, covering different trails over numerous days. Supported by experienced team leadership, you will receive resources and encouragement through your personal training and fundraising experience.
Freedom Fighters will trek through the Torres Del Paine & Los Glaciares National Parks in both Chile & Argentina in recognition of the ability we have to RISE and make a difference in human exploitation. The team will hike the well know W Trek in Torres Del Paine before traveling to Los Glaciares where we will do several day hikes near the famous Fitz Roy peak.
Each participant is expected to raise a minimum of $2,000.
Total lodging is $2,209.27 per person.There is a $500 non refundable deposit to be paid ASAP to hold your spot. This deposit will be applied to your final lodging cost. Final lodging costs can be made in one or more payments. Reach out to be directly if providing payments, lodging needs to be paid in full no later than August 31. Please understand that the deposit is required because there is a lot of planning and financial commitments that have already been made to make this happen. Without a deposit, If one person cancels and they cannot be replaced, this creates a financial hardship on the rest of the team.
