“In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.” ~ John Muir
I was diagnosed with depression in high school, just about the same time I realized I wanted to hike the Appalachian Trail. As I have struggled to cope with my mental illness, I have always had this dream out in front of me to look forward to. Now I finally have the chance to hike the AT, and do some good while I’m at it! I will be hiking north at the end of April from Harper’s Ferry, WV to Mount Kathdin, ME and then shuttling back to West Virginia and hiking south from Harper’s Ferry to Mount Springer, GA. I’m so glad that my hike will help other people who deal with mental health problems, and fund some trail preservation too!

Happy hiking to all hitting a trail this year! Best of luck to my fellow hikers on the Appalachian Trail in the Class of 2020….and a huge KUDOS to everyone that registers and promotes their hike through Hiking for Mental Health. Just registered my own hike, and rather than donate to myself I wanted to give a boost to all my hiking tramily here in getting up their “donation mountain”. 🙂 Hope to see some of you on the trail, and thanks to all of you for getting behind such an important cause!!! “Cray” 4-4-2020
