Hi, I just ran across the web site of Jared Yelton, a hiker from Beaufort, SC, who plans to walk the entire 2,167 mile length of the Appalachian Trail as a way of raising money to benefit Parkinson's disease. His hike begins April 15 in Georgia and ends in Maine at the end of August. Jared's effort will honor his grandfather, who died of Parkinson's disease in 1995. He needs people to sponsor him and hikers to join him. See his web site at http://www.lowcountryguide.com/hike/index.html. Jared deserves our encouragement and support.
