PVS Rotarian Rob DeCou is at it again with the long endurance challenges for a good cause and to benefit the community. On Saturday August 14th Rob will be starting a 68 mile hike/run through the Santa Monica Mountain range. Let's get out there and support and encourage him!
The 68-mile Backbone Trail follows the spine of the Santa Monica Mountains from Los Angeles to Point Mugu in Ventura County. Typically, a thru hike of the Backbone Trail is achieved in 7 to 9 days. Rob will attempt to complete the entire trail in 24 hours! (https://www.trailmagicadventures.com/about-the-backbone-trail)
Proceeds from this event/fundraiser will go to benefit the 1736 Family Crisis Center which supports domestic violence survivors, runaway and homeless youths, and persons in crisis.
Notwithstanding the above, we are gathering Rotarians and Friends to join Rob on Saturday August 14, at 9:00 a.m. at Will Rogers Park, to cheer him on, hike a part of the trail with him (as much as you deem fit), send him on his way, and just drop by for some fellowship.
If you are interested in cheering Rob on at the starting line, hiking a few feet or miles with him, or have any questions, please feel free to contact me (Jerry Jen) at jjenrotary@gmail.com. Thank you.
