Why I'm hiking:
  • To heighten awareness of dyslexia among people in a position to donate money to the International Dyslexia Association (IDA) and bring publicity to the cause.
  • Encourage online donations to the IDA through a Paypal system set up directly to an IDA account.
  • To request that friends pledge via an email commitment:
    • Any amount per mile (the trail is 2108 miles long)
    • Any amount per state (the trail goes through 14 states).
    • Any amount for trail completion (only 10% of hikers that begin with the intent to complete the trail actually do).
  • To drop 60+ pounds
