Trail: Appalachian Trail     Goal: 2190 Miles
Dates: Apr 007 2017 - Sep 25 2017
For over a decade, it has been an aspiration turned obsession to hike the Appalachian Trail in its entirety. My "call to adventure" has picked up momentum, logistics are in my favour, and I thought it suitable to give back to the community ... more

Pledge Follow Up and Thank You!!

Boiling Springs, PA - Mile ??? - Oct 31st, 2017

A Happy Halloween to all of the ghouls and gals who supported me!
I've been AWOL as of late and I would be remiss in offering a big thank you for standing by my side and seeing me through my arduous, but rewarding journey...
I apologize for the difficulty some of you may have had, finally making your promised contributions to the organizations you pledged to. For those that have, my undying gratitude for following through. This was completely voluntary, and I admire you!
If you are still having trouble donating, I can do a lump sum if you would like to send a check to me. I will jump through the hoops to make this possible; just send me an email at ejschott@gmail.com and we will sort out logistics from there.
Further more, I would like to send you a personal thank you if you can provide your mailing address, again, at ejschott@gmail.com.
Thanks again to all!!

Congratulations Eric in this fantastic accomplishment. The website for ILADS was giving me problems so I just donated $25 to the ATC organization. Again, so proud of you and all that you endured. Kathy Grim

Congratulations on your accomplishment. I was able to pay my pledge and split it according to your desire, but it was a crazy process. I have never pledged that I had to go through so much effort. I hope everyone follows through.

Congratulations!

Tried several times to donate to ILADS, but their site refused to take my money, so I gave all of my donation to ATC instead.

Congratulations on achieving your goal. I pledged $22.00 but with the Trump bump hitting my stocks I've kicked in $40.00 for ATC. For some reason it shows a 70/30% split with Lyme, but I actually sent the whole $40.00 to ATC.

WAY TO GO, ERIC!

We are very proud of you. I walk 2-3 miles a day, and know
that is enough for me. I can't imagine 15-20 miles. WOW !!!
