Saratoga Springs — David Kelley, a lifetime resident of Saratoga Springs and founder of CreateYourOwnChallenge launched a Hike for Ukraine fundraising project with 100% of the proceeds donated to the World Central Kitchen (WCK), now serving millions of meals to Ukrainian families affected by the war. Participants are asked to complete one hike, walk, bike, ski, trail run, or paddle for Ukraine. Suggested registration fee is $15, although any amount, higher or lower, is appreciated. In return, participants will receive a Hike for Ukraine patch and sticker, as well as entry into the online roster. The project will be ongoing. 

CreateYourOwnChallenge is a project that encourages folks to hike and help. As part of their  commitment to the environment, a portion of proceeds supports environmental and human interest causes. In the case of Hike for Ukraine, 100% of the proceeds will be donated to WCK. For additional information, please contact David Kelley at This email address is being protected from spambots.
