My name is John and I’ve been dreaming of hiking the Appalachian Trail since I was a kid. I recently took off to do just that.  I’ve been on the trail now for over 3 months and having the greatest time meeting friends and healing my mental health. Unfortunately, it’s becoming clear to me that I will not be able to finish this trek with the funds that I saved up. I hate coming here to ask for help but it’s my only option at the moment. I know it’s a lot to ask for help with this, but know that doing so is not just helping someone hike a trail. It’s helping me heal, it’s helping me find direction, and it’s inspiring me to write a book about my journey.

If you have the means, please consider helping me realize this dream of mine, and I would truly be forever grateful!

Thank you!
