Hi all, After I finish up my master's program in April, I will be heading down to Georgia to thru hike the Appalachian Trail Northbound. I anticipate on finishing mid-October of 2016. This is something that I have been dreaming of doing for some time, and I am excited to set the plan into motion in the coming months. I will be walking roughly 2,191 miles to complete the entire trail, and I am hoping to put every step towards a good cause. That being said, I have decided to try and raise money for an organization before and during my hike contingent upon the miles I hike. Outward Bound for Veterans is a great organization that supports veterans of the U.S. military, particularly those suffering from PTSD. The program helps veterans readjust to life through wilderness courses that that use teamwork and nature. All funds that are raised through this website will be channelled directly to the organization upon the completion of my hike. Thank you for your support :) Caroline less
