SKATE FOR HUNGER
        Skate for Hunger was a solo unsupported trans-America inline skating trip, undertaken to raise awareness about global hunger and to raise funds for Action Against Hunger. The skater, Jack Sisson, trekked from Yorktown, Virginia to San Diego, California, approximately 3000 miles over the course of 72 days.

ACTION AGAINST HUNGER
        The international humanitarian organization Action Against Hunger saves the lives of malnourished children and families, while providing sustainable access to safe water and long-term solutions to hunger. In emergency situations of conflict, natural disaster, and chronic food insecurity, Action Against Hunger has pursued its vision of a world without hunger for nearly three decades.
        Through the ACF International Network, their 6,000+ field staff work in over 40 countries to carry out innovative, lifesaving programs in nutrition, food security, water and sanitation, health, and advocacy. Their programs reach some 5 million people a year, restoring dignity, self-sufficiency, and independence to vulnerable populations around the world.
