Awareness
The #1 Goal of This Event is Awareness
Yes, we want to log enough miles to circle the globe twice. We need your help doing so!
Yes, we want to raise $250,000 for TCH. Please join us in support of their mission!
But our #1 goal through this event is raising awareness.
In 2024, we heard from men on the frontline of the battle against human trafficking in St. Louis. If you missed that conversation, you can CLICK HERE to watch it.
In September of 2025, 40 men from F3 Gateway in St. Louis gathered to hear from two other experts who continue to fight this evil in our community. Although we did not record the conversation, they did provide materials we can share with the world. Below are a few links to past presentations and upcoming events.
Did you know Missouri Ranks #4 in Human Trafficking?
It's not always strangers. Often, it's people kids have a relationship with who target them for trafficking or exploitation. Learn how kids can be vulnerable, especially online, and how you can help them heal from this trauma. This is heavy work. It's not always easy, but when kids light up and have breakthrough moments in therapy, we know it's worth it.
