Cross-Jersey Walking Challenge
Greetings to all Walkers and Fans,
I'm Michael Oliva, the Mid-Atlantic Trail Coordinator for the East Coast Greenway Alliance. Paul Kiczek, of the long distance walking group FreeWalkers, and I wish to thank you for considering supporting the ECGA.
The FreeWalkers (freewalkers.org) are partnering with the East Coast Greenway Alliance (greenway.org) to invite the public to strive for a new personal goal for the new year in a program called the Cross-Jersey Walking Challenge. The program is FREE and challenges individuals to walk 100 miles across the entire state – from Trenton to New York City within the next 12 months – along the East Coast Greenway.
While walkers may choose to walk the distance at any time on their own, we have scheduled three free organized walks that in total cover the entire 100 mile stretch of the ECG. I invite you to visit http://crossjerseywalk.org to find out more and walking with us at the follwing events:
Like the Cross-Jesey Walking Challenge, the East Coast Greenway represents an ambitious undertaking of connecting a single safe and accesible cylcling and walking route from the tip of Maine to bottom of the east coast in Key West, Florida. The ECGA advocates for the completion of the route by working with our local, state, and federal partners along our 3,000 mile route. It requires the generous support of people like you to reach our goal of creating a valuable, free public resource for walkers, runners, and cyclists and other non motorized users.
I encourage you to take up the challenge and walk with us along the New Jersey section of the trail and experience the unique pleasures and surprises you'll find nearby. I think you will find the ECG is the kind of public trail that celebrates the diversity of areas like New Jersey.
Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support out fundraising efforts.
Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
Sincerely,
Mike
