"After meeting my fundraising goal for water wells in South Africa, I joined the Adventure Challenge trip, and instantly saw the reason for this fundraising. Plastered everywhere were signs advising tourists to be mindful of their water usage since South Africa is going through a water crisis. It really hit me hard, to see the reality of South Africans, and knowing how privileged I am to have unlimited water in my home in the US."

"The camaraderie and brotherhood/sisterhood one builds in challenges like these is unmatched. Having people from all walks of life and diverse backgrounds coming together to encourage you through the physical task of trekking a mountian, praying together while camping out under starts, and supporting you throughout the journey all for a good cause is what I will forever be grateful for. I highly recommened and encourage everyone to join a future challenge and be a part of the IR family."
"The turkey challenge was the adventure of a lifetime. Learning about the history of the Ottomans, following the route Ertugrhl and his descendants took as they conquered the land was amazing. The biking was tough, but well worth seeing this beautiful country by bike."
