Addison's Appalachian Trail Fund

Hello, my name is Addison Gillam and it is my goal to try and hike the entirety of the Appalachian Trail, the 2180 mile footpath from Georgia to Maine.  I want to hike the Appalachian Trail because I have been playing football since I was 6 years old, now 23, and living a specific schedule for such a long time that I wanted to experience something new and something that fits well into my interests.  Following the hike I plan on getting a job as a firefighter and I believe this experience will be beneficial.  The reason I wanted to start a GoFundMe is because it would take away some of the stress and worries while on the trail.  The money donated will mainly be used for food resupply when I reach towns and for equipment if I need to get new things.  Any size donation would be incredibly helpful as it is fairly cheap to get food for a weeks worth of hiking.  I am already about 170 miles into the hike and loving every minute of it.
