AT 2024 or Bust!!
My Travel Story
I learned about the Appalachian Trail when I was 30 and a regular hiker. I was searching for some out of state hikes to take when I stumbled upon this adventure of a lifetime. 14 states, 2200 miles, 5 million steps. From the time I found out about it's existence, I was already mentally there.
I have hiked this hike in my head thousands of times over the years. I have read every single book ever published on the subject. I have watched countless videos. It will be like coming home for me.
I feel like I have no business asking for support on something that is a personal choice. I'm not doing anything altruistic here, not serving anyone else, not going on some missionary trip. But make no mistake, it IS a mission.
My soul needs to do this. I want to challenge both body and mind. I want to inspire others to follow their dreams. I want to step literally into nature. I want to see if I have what it takes.
My dream is no more important than anyone else's. But I'm asking for your support anyway. Thank you so much for listening and if you've helped me out financially, I owe you. I will forever owe you. Much love, Donya
p.s. Any monies over the funding amount will go to the Appalachian Trail Conservancy to help maintain the trail for others that will walk after me.
