48 Days, 1152 Hours, or 69120 minutes to get to 100 miles by walking, hiking, or biking in this awesome fundraiser for a great cause. This is NY NJ Trail Conferences first ever trail-a-thon in honor of their 100th birthday! They want everyone to signup, join a team (we would love to have you on Team Abby Girl), and support those in the trail-a-thon. The goal is to reach 100 miles. They have some pretty nifty prizes along the way t0o for both miles tracked and money raised.
What is the NY NJ Trail Conference?
Officially formed on October 19th, 1920, it serves as an organization dedicated to maintaining and protecting our lands through a partnership with local parks.
According to their website, they mention that,
Since 1920, the New York-New Jersey Trail Conference has partnered with parks to create, protect, and promote a network of over 2,150 miles of public trails.

They serve a very broad area that stretches in all directions and hundreds of thousands of volunteers have helped make everything possible. They also are very active on social media and publish trail news articles online that are very informative.
If you go under their about us section, they outline the whole entire history of the NY NJ Trail Conference and it’s a pretty awesome history. I’m not saying that just because I’m a history geek either. They have made some awesome strides and truly had an amazing one hundred years!
How you can help
Well, you can support us in the trail-a-thon fundraiser or join yourself. Remember Team Abby Girl. Woot. Woot.

AND ADDITIONAL WAYS TO HELP …
Other ways to support the organization is volunteer work, visit their story, or just make a general donation. You can also become a member. There are so many ways to help. Go on their website for other options or learn more about the ones listed in this post.
It’s also helpful for you to respect the trails. We all want the trails to stay nice for everyone to enjoy them and make it a little easier for the volunteers at the trail conference.

Final Thoughts on this Fundraiser
Adventures of Abby Girl is super excited to attempt to walk 100 miles in 48 days. It might not be hiking, walking, or biking toward the final miles. Adventures of Abby Girl just might be at a crawl. But, with the support of everyone, we will try really hard to cross the virtual finish line. We have just under 12.8 miles in our first week. Time to turn up the dial a bit! We are really blessed to have such an awesome organization right in our own backyard.
