We're On A Mission
Ady is a 17-year-old nonspeaking autistic teen who is showing the world she is capable of incredible things! Together, we will hike a section of the Appalachian Trail to prove that disabilities do not define a person. Ady is hiking, not only for her community at Ady’s BiG Army, but also for those she calls “her people” all over the world. Each mile she walks will tell their story of resilience, purpose, and beauty.
How to Get Involved
Getting involved is simple and powerful. You can make a difference by your tax-deductible giving through our secure donation page, sponsoring a mile in honor of someone you love, or even lacing up your boots or shoes to hike "alongside us," in your own community. Unable to give at the moment? We understand! You can still fuel the movement by sharing our story with friends, family and followers on social media. Every step, every share, every conversation, and every donation, brings us closer to building a forever home for Ady and her friends at Ady’s BiG Army.
