Inspired by the fundraising effort of Tara Dower in setting the Fastest Known Time on the Appalachian Trail, I have set a goal of a backyard Appalachian Trail Run, 2200 miles of travel on the Appalachian Trail, locally. This will allow me to accumulate miles as time, skill, speed and health allow. The Challenge Fundraising Goal is set at $2200. Donations can be made as you like at any time. I am suggesting a donation of 22 dollars.
