So I was talking to someone the other day about the hike and we both brought up the idea of sponsorship along the trail. I have never heard of anyone hiking the Appalachian Trail for a fundraising cause, but don’t people have walks for all kinds of different things? So I was wondering if anyone knew of an organization that might be interested in something like this. I’m not sure exactly how it work work, and I’m almost out of time to organize something like this myself, but I think it would be really cool to have, say, and American Cancer Society flag on my pack and for get people to sponsor me per mile, or only on completion of the trail or something and give all the proceeds to the ACS. Thoughts?
