First off, the organizations website www.uhfac.org is undergoing more and more changes as the days go by. Now included are the short form biographies for both Ty and myself, with more team members to be featured soon.
More content is coming for our youtube channel, so please stay tuned.
And now for something to you the readers... a chance to help us make a difference.
So Ty will take it from here.

C.O.O. Ultimate Hike For A Cure
wessgrigg@uhfac.org
On April 9, 2011, The Ultimate Hike For A Cure will launch another attempt at the goal of hiking from Michigan to Alaska. But this time, Ty isn't going to go alone! Do you want to go with him?
The new launching point will either be from Michigan State University in East Lansing or from the state capitol building in Lansing. From there, we will head due north to St Ignace and then go west along the northern tier of the US. We will then head north into Canada in either Montana or Idaho.
If you think you have the desire to do this and you have the drive to do it, I will need a few things from you by October 1, 2010:
1. Full legal name
2. Address, phone number, & e-mail
3. DOB
4. Medical history & any existing medical issues
5. Medical release from your doctor
6. Proof of medical insurance or proof of financial ability to cover any medical bills incurred during the hike
7. Criminal history
8. Proof of passport (this is needed so I know you can cross the border)
9. Proof of proper identification (ie DL, Military id)
10. An essay, no more than 3 paragraphs, explaining why you should be considered for the Hike
Team (this must be sent to ultimatehike@gmail.com, no paper essays will be considered)
I need these things so I know who I am dealing with. The UHFAC does not provide any medical or life insurance, nor do we provide any kind of compensation. This is a VOLUNTARY position with a non-profit organization.
All information provided to the UHFAC, will remain confidential and will not be used in any capacity, other than to conduct background checks.
Decisions on those that will be part of the Hike Team, will be made by the founder/chairman of the UHFAC, Ty Hover. If you are chosen to go on the UHFAC with Ty, you will be notified no later than October 15, 2010. You will be notified by e-mail and a phone call from Ty.
In order to be considered for a spot on the UHFAC, all materials (except for the essay, which must be e-mailed to the UHFAC e-mail) must be mailed to the UHFAC main office at:
59331 Grand River
New Hudson, Mi, 48165
So, if you want to do it. If you think you have what it takes. And if you want to do something good for a condition that is approaching epidemic proportions... then let me know and send me the info I need. I would love to have you there with me!
Thanks,
Ty Hover
