Trek on the Trail for Mental Health

Goal: $2,194.00
$772.00 donated
As someone who struggles with depression, anxiety, and several other mental health challenges, I consider the work of Hike for Mental Health as essential.
Wilderness saved me and continues to save me over and over again every day. My first thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail in 2016 changed my entire life. I’d like to use this thru-hike to raise awareness and to help others find their way to good mental health.
Would you consider making a donation, leaving a message, or sharing this page to help stamp out the stigma of mental illness and conserve wilderness trails?
Thank you.
PS – For this thru-hike, I’ll be hiking with my partner Justin. You can follow us at trekonthetrail.com.
