Ryan to Walk Across Death Valley to Raise Money for Burmese Refugees

The following is a guest post by IVC founder, Ryan Skoog, about his upcoming hike across Death Valley. Why would any sane person do this in the depth of summer? We encourage you to find out more and join the cause.

I am walking across Death Valley in the Summer to raise $20,000 to get 250,000 meals to Burmese Refugees.

And here is why:

After visiting Thailand/Burma border I could not shake the story of Steven. (I have several posts about this) He and his brothers were fleeing to Thailand when three of his brothers were shot right before they made it to the border. Steven is one of hundreds of thousands of refugees doing death marches across Burma.

Ever since that trip I’ve been praying and looking for a way to help. Fortuitously, I did not have to look past the next town. In Eagan, MN there is an international feeding ministry called Feed My Starving Children who make fully fortified meals for millions of starving kids around the world. We formed a partnership, tested their meals in several places, and are raising funds to distribute 250,000 meals to the border through Venture Expeditions. This is the headline, I’ll be posting more details in the days to come…

Here is where you donate.
