John & Sue's Camino Mission:
500 Miles for 500 Families
B&M Impact Foundation co-founders John Bamforth and Sue Mahony are walking the 500-mile Camino route across Spain as a pilgrimage of solidarity to help communities impacted by hurricane Helene. With each mile walked, they hope to help a food insecure family. Their goal is to raise $75,000 for Impact Health and Bounty & Soul to provide nutritious, locally-grown food for 500 families in Western NC.
Give today and double your impact!
B&M Impact Foundation will match every donation to Impact Health dollar-for-dollar up to $37,500.
Total Raised: $35,280 as of September 22, 2025
What Your Support Makes Possible
Our Camino campaign is about more than miles walked—it’s about turning generosity into lasting impact for communities in Western NC hit hardest by Hurricane Helene.
By reaching our $75,000 goal, together we will:
-
Provide fresh, nutritious food to 500 families, ensuring those facing food insecurity have reliable access to healthy meals.
-
Help sustain local farmers and the regional economy by supporting the purchase of locally grown produce.
-
Strengthen the work of Impact Health, a key partner improving access to food and health services across the region.
Every dollar raised—and matched by the B&M Impact Foundation up to $37,500—helps turn resilience into reality for families and communities rebuilding after the storm.
