Walking for Women

Hello Family and Friends! As you are probably aware, I am thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail starting on March 6th. This journey traverses nearly 2200 miles of the East Coast. It starts at Springer Mountain in Georgia and finishes on Mt. Katahdin in Maine. My close friend Jon Spanos will be joining me, and we expect the adventure to take at least 5 months! Due to the enormous nature of this task, I wanted to take the opportunity to raise awareness (and money) for a cause that I deeply care about.

The cause is to care for the downtrodden and exploited. The organization is Wellspring International. They help thousands of people each year. Many of them women and children who have been rescued from sex-slavery and poverty. Through this ministry, these people have been shown the love of Jesus. They are given healthcare, educational opportunities, and genuine love. The Gospel calls us to reach the lost and hurting, and that is exactly what Wellspring is doing. 100% of every donation to Wellspring goes straight to helping those in need.

I am trying to raise $1 for every mile that I hike. The cost of a Snickers bar to help someone who has been used and has no hope.
75% of your donation will go to Wellspring International. The other 25% will go toward food and lodging to support my trek and keep me on the trail (it costs roughly $1000 a month to hike the AT).
