First Descents will provide free overnight expeditions with a variety of activities to those ‘on the frontlines.’
Colorado-based nonprofit First Descents has provided outdoor programming and experiences for thousands of people with serious health conditions over the years. Thanks to a partnership with the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation, the organization has created a new program for healthcare and frontline workers.
The nationwide program, called HERO RECHARGE, is a series of free programming for workers who have been fighting against COVID-19.
“Doctors, nurses, and first responders are on the frontlines of the most devastating health crisis of our generation,” said Ryan O’Donoghue, executive director of First Descents.
“Our goal is to address this trauma through unforgettable outdoor adventures that will nurture supportive peer relationships and give these heroes the respite and renewal they deserve.”
