Hiking to Healthy on the A.T.

My name is Kayla and on November 12th, 2013 one of my best friends changed my life forever.  I quit smoking (cold turkey), started saving money, changed my eating habits, and began to workout. I have lost 103 pounds as of July 2014, our goal is to hike the entire Appalachian Trail (A.T.) from Georgia to Maine starting in March of 2015.  I have committed my entire life to this journey and at this point I have saved $300 dollars, lost 103 pounds, and gained a confidence I didn't know I could have.  It will take us 6 months to hike the trail and so additional support would be greatly appreciated.  Each of us need about $5,000 to hike the trail this seems like a lot of money but by donating to me you will be helping provide me with food, shelter, gear, and transportation on the A.T.  I have purchased the most expensive gear I will need already and have made so many positive changes in my life, please consider helping me acheive my dream, any donation will help. I currently blog on a daily basis to keep myself accountable and to keep track of this amazing journey. You can follow my progress at: http://kaylaleisenheimer.wordpress.com/

I love to knit, it is something I have done as a hobby for a long time.  I have decided to part with my yarn stash in order to make sure you get something for your money.  Please see Rewards for more details.
