I was wondering if anyone knows anything about.. or has any experience hiking for a non-profit organization and getting donations to thru-hike the trail.. raising money for a cause. Like Hiking for Cancer or something.
See.. I really want to thru-hike the trail, I have the time, I don't have any obligations holding me back.. and I have the willpower and dedication.. and the gear.. but I am sort of homeless. I can't seem to save up enough money for any decent trip, let alone a thru-hike.. almost all the money I earn goes towards food, school (part-time), transportation, and the place where I am currently staying, after that I'm left with pocket change.
I would be absolutely enthralled to hike for a charity it if would help people.
Have your hike taken care of, so you can focus on the trail and finishing.. to help a noble cause! Two birds with one stone.
I've heard about things like this before but I'm not sure where to even start looking. Could someone help point me in the right direction?
Thanks.. peace and love.
