Following the passing of his past partner Jill to suicide, Austin Hager knew he wanted to complete a thru hike while raising awareness for Mental Health. Being drawn to the Canadian Rockies he chose the Great Divide Trail (GDT) and created his fundraiser, Hike4Hope. He is logging hiked kilometers through 2021 while raising funds to donate to the Canadian Association of Suicide Prevention (CASP). Austin chose CASP to donate to as he was drawn to the policies and streamline approach they are using in Suicide Prevention.
