It took me a while to pick a charity but I decided on the Cancer Research Institute and set a goal of $1,000 to be raised as a donation to this charity via per-mile sponsorship. 8 people have since pledged and I exceeded that goal and currently stand to donate roughly $1,200 to this organization (on behalf of the donors) at the completion of my hike!
And through this fundraising I got a number of emails asking me if there was a link where people could fund me. At first I was hesitant but I figure now that I have raised the target money for the cause, I am happy to take donations and put them towards the hike itself. So (Kathryn, Joe, Al, Liz, John and others) I have edited my page to include a place to accept donations for trip expenses such as gear replacement, resupplies, etc. So if you'd like to donate to me personally, you can do so directly via paypal here :)
Thanks for following along with me!
