Donation protected
Introduction: Dear friends, family, and fellow adventurers,

We are thrilled to introduce you to Daniel Bowes, an extraordinary individual and an avid outdoor enthusiast who gains battery power the longer he is in nature! He is kind, magnetically personable, and contagiously outgoing. As he approaches his milestone 30th birthday, Daniel has set an ambitious goal for himself: to hike the legendary Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) from Mexico to Canada! We are here today to rally together and make this dream a reality by supporting Daniel's GoFundMe campaign.

Background:

Daniel has spent large swaths of his life dedicated to the betterment of his fellow humans both professionally and in his private life. Whether it's scaling mountains, traversing untrodden paths, or connecting with people from all walks of life, Daniel continuously seeks to create meaningful memories and forge lifelong connections. Turning 30 marks a special moment in Daniel's life, and his desire to embark on this epic journey represents both a personal milestone and an opportunity for growth, self-reflection, and unparalleled adventure.

About the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT):

The Pacific Crest Trail is a majestic, 2,650-mile (4,265 km) long-distance hiking trail that stretches from the Mexican border all the way to the Canadian border. It meanders through some of the most breathtaking landscapes imaginable, including deserts, mountains, forests, and alpine regions. The journey typically takes around five to six months to complete and demands unwavering determination, physical endurance, and mental strength.
