Help Ryder hike the AT, from Georgia to Maine
Donation protected
Hi there, my name is Ryder Pond and for the past four years I have been preparing mentally and physically to thru hike the Appalachian Trail. I am 17 years old and just graduated high school, so before I start my first semester of college, I will be attempting a thru hike of the Appalachian trail. The Appalachian trail spans over 2100 miles starting in Georgia and continuing all the way to Maine. During this journey, I will carry all of my belongings on my back and live in nature all day every day for four months. However, with college right around the corner, I have found financing this mission challenging. This has been a dream of mine since I was in middle school and now I’m so close to making it reality. if you are able, a single dollar makes a huge difference by enabling me to purchase food and wash the one pair of clothes I will be wearing for four months straight. If you are unable to help financially, but you have any knowledge regarding the Appalachian trail I am happy to hear it! thank you so much for supporting this lifelong dream, of course I will aim to keep everyone updated throughout my journey! As it stands, I plan to begin this endeavor on April 7, 2023, and I aim to hike the full distance and arrive in Maine in early August. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like any additional information regarding my journey.
