Nomad Pilgrimage



The 2010 Nomad Pilgrimage will be the first annual (hopefully more to follow) event to raise awareness and finances for Nomad's Land in Attalla, AL. On October 21 -24, we will walk 45 miles along highway 11 from Birmingham to Nomad's Land.

We will raise funds by getting individuals to sponsor us per mile of the walk. For example, if I get someone to sponsor me $1 per mile (45 miles), then when I complete the walk, that person would make a tax-deductible donation of $45 to Nomad's Land.

We need two groups of people to be involved:

1. We need people who are willing and able to do the walk. This means 4 days of walking and 3 nights of camping along the way. We will do 10-12 miles of walking per day. We also want each person doing the walk to find (or make a good effort to find) people to sponsor you for the walk.

2. We also need people who would be willing to sponsor the walk. If you would like to be involved, but don't feel up to walking for four days, we need your help too! Would you be willing to sponsor the walk with a financial donation?

Finally, we need your help spreading this event far and wide. We would love to have a lot of walkers and sponsors for this event. Please let friends and family know what we're up to and ask them to help too.


Thank you for your help! We are super excited about this event and hope that you can join us.


If you are able to help in either way, please email me at nomadsupply@gmail.com
