Most people have been spending the pandemic baking bread or watching Netflix. Kentucky native and passionate thru-hiker Brittney Woodrum spent it climbing all the 14,000-foot (aka “fourteeners”) mountains in Colorado.
While Woodrum — like all of us — was forced to put her life plans on hold this year, she decided to give back to the community by partnering with the nonprofit organization ShelterBox to help provide emergency shelter and tools (like hand soap) for displaced families facing the threat of COVID-19 around the world. As an ambassador for ShelterBox, she was inspired to put her love of the outdoors to good use and climb some of the most challenging mountains in the US to raise funding — and she did it all while carrying the organization’s iconic turquoise box (weighing 14 lbs) on her back.
