Drag performer Pattie Gonia has begun a 500-mile journey from San Francisco to Los Angeles while aiming to raise $5 million for 19 climate and social justice non-profits.
Pattie Gonia, the professional name of artist Wyn Wiley, set off on November 9 and has pledged to complete at least one mile each day in high heels.
The California trek follows a 100-mile walk last year, which raised $1.2 million.
In an update from the road, Pattie described a daily routine that includes repairing her make-up, putting on tights, a drag outfit and wig, and securing carabiner earrings before leaving camp.
The environmentalist also prepares breakfast after packing up camp, before continuing along the trails.
The journey has been made more difficult by an El Niño storm, with Pattie sharing the effects of spending 96 hours in drag in wet and hazardous conditions.
More than 10lb of equipment is being carried for drag touch-ups, including make-up, wigs and heels.
More than $300,000 has so far been raised through GoFundMe towards the fundraising target.
