A New Journey Begins on October 11, 2025

This isn’t just about endurance. Steps Against Slavery 2025 is a campaign to raise awareness and funds in the fight against human trafficking, supporting the work of Blue Dragon Children’s Foundation


Why Jake & Sean Walk Against Modern Slavery

Modern slavery is not a relic of history. Today, millions of children and families are trapped in trafficking and exploitation. Jake and Sean’s mission is to prove that even small steps, when joined together, can make a global difference.

Supporting Blue Dragon Children’s Foundation

Blue Dragon is a grassroots charity in Vietnam working to:

🔹 Rescue children from trafficking and forced labor.

🔹 Provide safe housing, education, and legal advocacy.

🔹 Break the cycle of exploitation through prevention.

Every donation fuels these programs, helping real children find freedom and a future.


The 2,000km Route Across Southeast Asia

Starting in Vietnam

From Vietnam’s bustling cities to its rural heartlands, this leg reflects both the beauty of the country and the urgent need to tackle exploitation at its roots.

Crossing Through Laos

In Laos, Jake and Sean will face rugged terrain and remote mountain paths. It’s a test of endurance that mirrors the resilience required to fight trafficking.

Finishing in Thailand

The journey ends in Thailand, where vibrant culture meets ongoing challenges with human trafficking. Crossing the final border will mark the completion of their long-distance charity trek and a symbolic stand against slavery.


How You Can Support the Walk

Jake and Sean can’t walk this path alone. Here’s how you can stand with them:

🔹 Donate today to Blue Dragon’s mission.

🔹 Share their story on social media to raise awareness.

🔹 Follow updates from the trail and cheer them on.

💡 Even small contributions matter: just $50 can provide school supplies and support a rescued child’s education for a month.


Follow Their Progress in Real Time
