Hello,
I was wondering if anyone has ever tried a thru hike for charity or heard of anyone who has? I'm planning a NOBO this spring for my own selfish reasons (ie I want to do it), but I was thinking it might be a way to make some money for a good cause. I think some of the big charities allow you to set up your own donation page through their website which would handle all the money side of things/webdesign type stuff. Then you could just make updates as you went, maybe post it on facebook once in a while to draw some attention to it. I suppose you could whip up some business cards with the link on there and just hand them out to anyone you talked to along the way who seemed interested.
It's not really a developed idea or anything, just something I was thinking about on a plane today. Just seemed like if you can get people to donate money for you to walk 20 miles, they'd probably find a little change in their pocket for 2000 mi.
What are your thoughts?
