A Daring Venture

If you're here on my gofundme page, you probably already know that I'm about to embark on the adventure of a life-time! 

On June 13th, I'm setting out to hike all 2,180 miles of the Appalachian Trail. I've gotten some gear, read countless books and blogs, started dehydrating food and mapping out mileage... 

The idea of being out in the wilderness for six months is both thrilling and terrifying. Some people think I'm crazy. Some think I have a lot of courage. I think it's a mix of the two... But I also think I'm just ready for something new. Ready to step back and ready to have space to think and process. Ready to challenge myself. Ready to live simply. Ready to face fears and come out stronger.

So, here I go!  And I'd love for you to be a part of my trip! (Also - you can follow my blog here: https://adaringventure.wordpress.com)


Your support would mean the world to me. Every dollar gets me one step closer to completing the trail. 

Here's some examples of what your support would help me with:

$5

a days worth of snacks
laundry in town
a hot shower at a community center
an ice cream cone splurge
toilet paper resupply :)
a handful of postcards to send to my lovely sponsors!

$15

a meal out in town
new socks -- my feet won't smell so bad! for a little while
fuel for my stove
permethrin spray -- so I don't get ticks!

$25

a mail drop resupply box -- full of yummy things to eat
a night in hostel/hotel (split with a few other hikers)

$50

replace a small gear item
extra battery pack for my phone

$75

new hiking outfit -- shirt and shorts
sweet multifunction watch (definitely a wishlist item)

$100+

luxury "zero day" at an inn/lodge
new boots (most hikers go through 3-4 pairs of shoes)

transportation from Maine back to our flip-flop location
transportation home from Georgia

Or you can sponsor me by state -- $1 per mile! See my "wishlist" below. :)
