| I am hiking the North Country Trail from just north of my house to the Mackinac Bridge. Every day young girl in Zambia walk 4-6 miles to get water from contaminated pools. I am raising money to help with the efforts to bring wells and sanitation to these people. This is something that effects 1.1 billion people in the world. I am walking for them.
My hope is to finish the walk this year but if not I will finish the walk in the spring. The hike is around 300 miles. I want to raise $2 from every mile. I also plan on posting pictures each week as a reminder to all of us the conditions of those living in Zambia. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Update: so I have finished about 110 miles of my walk. I have ran in to some road blocks that have forced me to change my strategy in my 300 mile walk. My trail maps have become more and more vague as I go north. I think it is because the trail has become more and more vague as I go north. The last time I was out the trail disappeared and I was lost in the woods for a few hours bushwhacking my way north trying to find a road-this was not fun. The bad trail was only my first road block. I crashed my car. The one that my wife was dropping me off and picking me up in so if I continued I would have to do it in my van which would cost twice as much in gas as before. My work load at church has become ever increasing. And I recently became a foster parent of three kids under three years old. These are my reasons for changing. I am going to continue to walk. It just no longer seems possible for me to walk north. I am going to finish my walk by walking around my community. I hope that those who have donated towards my walk will understand my reasoning. I will be posting my mileage on facebook for those who like to see my progress. |
