Way back on episode 35, I did an interview with Gianni of Set Them Free Offroad. Set Them Free Offroad was organized to help raise awareness of human trafficking and ultimately execute mission trips to stop this crime. In 2013, the first annual event was held and was a huge success. Set Them Free Offroad actually raised enough money to fund a rescue mission which resulted in pulling a few girls out of their situation and the arrest of those perpetuating the crime! I was so excited to hear this news because it’s not that often that you can get clear and tangible outcomes when you simply donate to a cause.
Gianni and his wife have worked extremely hard since last year and this year’s event is sure to lead to even more success. This year the event will take place over two days instead of one. They will be covering some of the best 4×4 trails that Colorado has to offer including: Tincup Pass, Mount Antero, Hancock Pass, Iron Chest and Grizzly Lake, Chinaman Gulch, Holy Cross, and Carnage Canyon.
Set Them Free Offroad 2014 takes place on 27-29 June in Buena Vista Colorado. You can easily register right here.
