We’re SO CLOSE.
The Backpacking 10×10×10 Challenge has now raised $9,001 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital — leaving just $999 between us and the $10,000 goal we set when this crazy adventure began.
For those finding us for the first time, Backpacking 10×10×10 was our attempt to backpack 10 miles in 10 different states over 10 consecutive days, raising money for the kids of St. Jude along the way.
And Ye’ Faithful Few showed up.
🥾 155 individual donations
❤️ 98 different donors
🎁 57 rewards claimed
🗳️ 60 poll votes cast
💰 $9,001 raised
Now we need to figure out how to raise the FINAL $999.
And this time, we want YOUR ideas.
Another challenge? A livestream? A special reward? Something ridiculous? 999 people giving $1?
Tell us in the comments: What should DMS Adventures do to raise the final $999?
There’s also a finish line. Our 10×10×10 videos began June 27, right at the beginning of summer, and we’ve said we would probably close the fundraiser when summer ends.
☀️ September 22, 2026.
So that's the challenge:
$9,001 → $10,000
$999 to go.
Before summer ends.
Ye’ Faithful Few got us this far. Let's figure out how to finish it together.
All proceeds from the Backpacking 10×10×10 fundraiser benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
