Hey everyone! 

On June 11th, I will be starting a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail.  The Appalachian Trail is a 2193 mile trail from Springer Mountain, Georgia to Mount Katahdin, Maine.  This trail traditionally takes 4-6 months to complete; however, my plan is to hike it in 100 days or less. Although I know it will be a self-inflicted physical and mental struggle, while I’m out there, I want to do something to help people who are tested daily with unseen struggles. It is through my hike that I am raising money for the organization Hike For Mental Health. This organization gives 80% of donations to providing grants that enable scientific research, including the Brain and Behavior Research Foundation in New York. The other 20% goes to well-established trail maintenance organizations to continue to improve trails for all of us to use.  My goal is to raise $1000 dollars while also bringing awareness to the mental health crisis and funding gaps for mental health programs in the United States.  I am looking for small donations of $1 to $10 dollars. 

Note: I take COVID-19 EXTREMELY seriously.  During my hike, I will be following social distancing, wearing a mask when I am around others, and not entering areas until the National Forest Service reopens them. 

Thank you for reading; the link to donate will be in my profile description. Also, take a moment to reach out to someone who may need it.
