We developed EpicTracker to help people share their adventure stories, and we didn’t stop there. We’re working hard to promote the causes that people in our community care about and bring attention to some of the most challenging issues facing the world. We are particularly interested in causes related to the environment and education. If you’d like us to feature your cause, please let us know and we will work with you to help you make a difference. Now, let’s change the world! (Photo courtesy of Ray Zahab.)
