Hi My Name is Seth, In September I am planning on going on an adventure of a life time to America, I am Trekking along the Appalachian Trail, From Fontana Dam to Davenport Gap. This will mean walking over 10 miles each day and staying in shelters located along the trail. In all I will cover 73 miles of the Smoky Mountain section of the Trail.

As a trainee youth worker this will allow mean to gain so many more skills and i am very excited to meet other youth groups out there.

The reason why I would like to do this challenge is because I would like to push myself out of my comfort zone. I would describe myself as being funny, kind and happy.

I have never had an experience like this before but I thought that this is my year.

I am a student at Colchester Institute studying early years. In the future I am hoping to be a nursery practitioner when I grow up and this experience will help me because we will be visiting a youth group with children aging from 3 and will give me experience for my future job.

On the 30.01.26-01.02.26 I will be taken part in a White Water Rafting weekend in wales to push myself out of my comfort zone and raise money for the America Challenge.
