I would like some thoughts about an idea, I would like to try and hike the Appalachian Trail an thru hike. I would like to do this for charity to a heart foundation perhaps pledged by the mile completed as I have know Idea how far I will make it. The total trip is about 2179 miles and runs from Georgia to Maine, The trip would take abour 6 months to complete and I would require a companion due to my heart and kidney issues. I thought maybe a contest to go along with me? My Life has had an emptyness and has not really had a direction after I found out about my heart failure and I got to thinking about how an indian in my possition would take a hike in the woods and never be heard from again, it has a romanitic feel to for me. I have no suicide wish, But it would help give my life purpose. It would also raise money for a cause dear to my heart. LOL !! I have enjoyed this site and all your help let me know your thought.

" Wow, that is a really big undertaking. I am glad to hear you are not planning on going it alone though. That would not be wise. Please do be sure you are up to it physically. Seems like there might be other safer ways to regain purpose in your life though. However, if you can do some good for someone else by doing this....welll that would be great. Best wishes. JOAnn "
