UPDATE: In April 2020, I attempted to walk the Appalachian Trail, the AT. It had been something I have dreamed about, planned and trained for over the last five years. COVID-19 quickly changed those plans and required me to delay ‘The Trek’ to 2021. 

With this journey, I tried to help generate awareness regarding the epidemic that currently affects many families in the United States ... Opioid Addiction. 

Opioid addiction in the United States touches many people and dramatically affects members of the entire extended family.

It is estimated that between 130 - 150 people die everyday from Opioid Addiction. It is an epidemic that currently plagues the United States. 

Many times the addict makes what seems to be endless transitions from one detox and/or recovery program to another as he/she attempt to make a full recovery ...

I asked for support and many of my friends and family contributed and generated a tremendous amount of money towards two charities through this Go Fund Me fundraiser, (Learn 2 Cope ... www.learn2cope.com)   and Walk By Faith Freedom Over Addiction, (www.walkbyfaithfreedom.com)

Both of these organizations benefitted greatly from the funds we were able to direct to them.

My dream to hike the trail ‘is on’ and I begin my journey this year, on Thursday, April 15, 2021.

Thank You & God Bless!
