Greetings all -
I'm thru-hiking in 2006.
I'm investigating combining a 'walk-a-thon for charity' with my hike. I'll ask people to pledge a nickle/dime, for charity, for each mile I hike.
Do you know of anyone who has done this?
Where can I go for more info?

After deciding that I wanted to hike the AT, I thought of ways to 'expand' the hike. The idea of raising $ for a charity came to mind. (Probably because a friend did this 20 yrs ago.) The charity gets 100% - I wouldn't take a dime to defray my hiking expenses -- after all -- I was planning on hiking the trail regardless. I can't ask my friend any 'how-to' questions. He stopped talking to me after his funeral.
