Hi all! My name is Corinne but you can call me by my trail name, "GPS". In my 25 years I have dreamed a lot of dreams, but I never imagined that this one could possibly come true. Well, by the grace of God and the encouragement and support of my two hiking buddies, friends and family, I'll be venturing forth on a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail starting June of this year. It is a daunting challenge, but it has captured my heart fully. I want you to know how important you are to me as I prepare. So, I've created this page as my invitation for you to journey with me. How?
First of all, I will be blogging our experiences as a part of the Appalachian Trials 2016 blogger community. Here is my author page: http://appalachiantrials.com/author/corinne-dubois/ You can subscribe through Appalachian Trials so you know whenever there is a new post!
Second of all, I'd ask your prayers over this adventure. I know there will be moments (days?weeks?) of fatigue and pain. Your prayerful support will be an anchor through that.
Thirdly, is the opportunity for you to participate financially. We are working hard to shop smart and research well. I'm also trying out some products for two wonderful companies. Still, it is a sometimes overwhelming number that we face to complete the hike safely. I would be so grateful if you could come alongside me financially, in any amount or form of currency. Here is the spot to do it!
The following is a small list of where the greatest needs will be:
Gear (Sleeping system, trekking poles, attire, etc)
Food/Resupply (all packed meals, plus mail drop boxes)
Town days (showers, laundry, a bed to sleep in) probably once every 7-10 days
Unexpected emergencies (weather/illness requiring an additional day in town, transportation)
Thank you for the taking the time to read this. Let me know if you would like to be added to my email list for new blog posts and updates. Also let me know if you'd like to hike a section with us or meet up on or near the trail! I am so grateful for you all.

Cheers!
