Why is Wilderness Heals an all women event?
The Elizabeth Stone House was founded on the belief that by working together, women can help one another overcome great obstacles. Wilderness Heals embodies this same mission—that by working together, the hikers will be able to conquer the challenges that the wilderness presents and by coming together in their support for the women of the Elizabeth Stone House, they will be stronger and their efforts will reach farther. Around New England, women hike so that women of the Elizabeth Stone House may heal.
