Final Countdown, and a request of my Donors!

Asheville, NC - Mile 0 - Jul 9th, 2015

Its coming down to the wire! While I feel like I should be freaking out, I'm not. I think I passed that phase a few weeks ago when I saw that most of my supplies were in and I got to map out where I will stop and do overnights in town along the way. So the itinerary came together, loosely. I'm sure I'll still be in a little shock once I get a grasp on trail life for real. I'm confident I can handle it! I'll get a little taste tomorrow when I head out for an overnight and thorough equipment test.
So, my goal was to reach $2,500 before I left, which is about a week away! I am asking you, my wonderful amazing donors, if you might know anyone that would appreciate this cause to help save the lives of youth contemplating suicide. If so, could you send them the website address with a little note? Any and every dollar counts, and $5 is $5! I'd really appreciate your help!
I'll be updating more often on here as the final days countdown.
Thank you again for being so generous and loving with your pledges! Personally, it makes this type of event multidimensional, knowing that both I can achieve this (somewhat insane) goal of finishing the trail, having wonderful folks like you who sign on to pledge, and lastly knowing that every footstep on The Long Trail -- means something. I know when I do hit the trail, my feet on the ground will mean that I will help keep struggling kids on earth. I've been lucky to have a coming out experience that was pretty minor in pain and heartache. I've never experienced what its like to be bullied, disowned, beaten, ignored, chastised and told I'm going to hell. I cannot conceptualize the agony some gay youth go through. This charity can really save lives by staffing organization that kids can turn do as that last lifeline!
