When I was at The Gathering a few weeks ago, there was a flyer being circulated as follows:
"If money is holding you back from your FIRST thruhike on the AT, I may be able to help you in 2004. For more information, write:
AT Help
PO Box 68571
Virginia Beach, VA 23471-85"
I understand that in addition to the condition that this be a person's first thruhike, the person must be NOBO, hiking without a dog, and intending to keep a journal. This is a serious offer, since I talked with one '03 thruhiker at The Gathering who did get substantial support from this source.
So, if money is a major consideration in determining whether or not you will thruhike this year, I urge you to make contact at the address above.
