This past week has been a whirlwind of amazing developments!
Channel 10 News WSLS did a segment on the hike at 7:00 p.m. today under "Making a Difference". If you'd like to see the video, you can check it out at:

The Virginian Review ran an article in this past Saturday's paper and I must say that Darrell did an absolutely amazing job at conveying exactly how I'm feeling about this journey.
Alleghany Regional Hospital will be holding 2 bake sales, one on June 22nd and one on July 15th, in order to donate to the cause. I was a Teen Volunteer there for many years and I'm so excited that the current Teen Volunteers are helping me. My mother and I are going to be baking some goodies to take over there the morning of the 22nd and my mother is the best baker I know ;)
I am still getting all of my gear together, but I will definitely be leaving for Maine at the end of this month!
I am so blessed to be a part of a community that is so loving and supportive :)

Hey there! Wooohoo first comment! You got much better weather for Katahdin than I did. However, as I was finishing my thru hike there, it was fitting to be a cold and wet storm! You will make it to Springer, as a thru hiker who has now hiked the entire trail, I can say for a fact that you have what it takes. If you need anything let me know! Happy Trails.
