I’m raising funds because I want to hike the Pacific Crest Trail, and right now the financial side of making that happen feels overwhelming. Life has dealt setback after setback, and I’ve been carrying the weight of that for a long time. This journey is more than a hike for me. It feels like a chance to step away from the noise, challenge myself, and reconnect with deeper parts of who I am. I believe this experience could be truly life-changing, but I need help getting there.

The support from this fundraiser would help me cover life expenses at home while I’m away, along with the costs that come up during the journey itself. Having that support would give me the ability to focus on the trail and the personal growth I’m hoping to find through it, instead of constantly worrying about how to make everything work financially. If you’re able to help, thank you for being part of this dream and for supporting me as I take this meaningful step forward.

My plan is to start January of 2027 and to use this year to practice and prepare for the journey ahead!
