Ongoing: When we think about Bill Irwin, the first thought that comes to mind for most of us is the Appalachian Trail, a seeing eye dog named Orient and a blind hiker. Bill’s 2100 mile through hike of the A.T. in 1990 was an incredible feat accomplished by simple faith in God and a lot of perseverance. His new vision in life was to see families healed and set free from the grip of addiction. Free Indeed Ministries is the embodiment of that vision. Free Indeed needs your help to continue this fight. Would you please consider sponsoring Debra Irwin for $1 a mile as she cycles the 100 mile Maine Light House Ride? We are looking for 500 sponsors in order to reach our goal of $50,000. Free Indeed is expecting great things in the future which include the establishment of a live in program, a dream that was very dear to Bill. please go to http://www.fundme.com/en/projects/6370-Free-Indeed-Ministries-Fund-Raiser to donate any amount.
