Hike for Life has been “Helping Moms and Saving Babies” since 1973. We are Texas’ oldest Pro-Life event.
The “Hike for Life” is a pro-life walk held once a year in various locations around Texas to Help Women in crisis, or unplanned pregnancies that have chosen to carry their babies to full term. Our events raise awareness of the value and dignity of LIFE from conception to natural death and raise money for area, non-profit Pregnancy Resource Centers, and Maternity Residences.
The funds raised by Hike for Life are distributed to Pregnancy Resource Centers and Pro-Life ministries in the area where the Hike is held thus helping women in need and saving babies. We believe A “little” life can go a long way!
People ask “Why $625?” Many hikers have $625 listed as their goal. $625 is the amount that it takes to support a women in need with the basics in most cities in Texas. Years ago, we interviewed several Pregnancy Resource Centers to find out how much it cost to keep their doors open and the average number of babies saved from abortion. For each of these centers $625 ended up being “the cost of saving a life”.
So we encourage each Hiker to try and save one life if they can, or to get together with some friends and combine their efforts to save a life, or two.
As one of our maternity residences for homeless women stated…We offer a guiding hand to women in pregnancies who may feel abandoned, ignored and dealing with low self-esteem. We offer our supporters an OPPORTUNITY to participate in the life of a young mother and her child. THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING THE HIKE FOR LIFE! HELPING MOMS …..SAVING BABIES

Love them Both – Scheduled to begin in October of 2021. “Love them Both” is a new project of Hike for Life. Instead of attending a Hike on an early Saturday morning the Hike basically comes to your church. It’s simple and you don’t even have to Hike - At the end of the service a message will be given about the local Pro-Life ministries in the area and a request for donations will be made. The message is similar to one that you would hear at a Hike for Life. It is our goal to get the Pro-Life message out to everyone – not just those who choose to come to a Saturday morning Hike. Everyone needs to hear the message and this will allow us all to “Help more Moms and to Save more Babies”. Click on the “Love them Both” button above to donate or to learn more.
