I chose to make HIKE for Mental Health a part of my Pacific Crest TrailTrail hike to raise funds for a great cause and reduce the stigma of mental illness.
Would you will consider making a donation, leaving a message, or sharing this page?
Thank you.

Hi Nathan,
I am excited you are making this journey and I hope you find everything you are looking for and more on the trail! I am donating to your hike in memory of my brother Neal Hanlin. He completed his triple crown in 2017 and spoke highly (and a little begrudgingly) of the PTC. It was incredibly challenging but incredibly rewarding, and I know he would join me in wishing you every success! I wish he was here to give you some real advise, but all I can do is cheer you on. There is a memorial setup for him (https://www.mykeeper.com/profile/NealHanlin/) if you feel like posting how your hike goes. I think people would enjoy knowing he is still touching lives.
Happy Trails,
Macky Guilherme
