Our Story

My name is Roland "Bones" Jimenez, and my journey has been shaped by profound loss. I lost my youngest brother, Michael, to cancer in 1988; my second-eldest brother, Javier, to a sudden illness in 1991; my eldest brother, Arturo, in 2017; my beloved mother, Lucia, in 2024; and most recently, the man I admired most—my father, Stanley. Through grief, I discovered healing in nature, especially through hiking. Now, I'm committed to helping others do the same.

Hike to Honor Program

Hike to Honor is a multi-day, destination-based camping and hiking non-profit program designed to guide participants on a healing journey through nature after the loss of a loved one. This unique experience allows individuals to fully immerse themselves in nature, engaging in activities that foster healing, self-reflection, and personal growth. 


In summary, Hike to Honor takes participants to a beautiful destination, where they will set up camp, embark on a meaningful hike to honor their loved ones, and embrace nature’s beauty through shared group experiences. The goal is for participants to discover a path to inner peace that lightens the burden of grief, helping them heal, reconnect with themselves, and carry the memory of their loved ones forward with renewed strength and purpose.
