July 16th has arrived! Dave and I just wanted to let you know that we will be starting the hike this Sunday with Troy Daland, an Air Force member from Florida. He will hike two weeks and shortly there after we will be joined by approximately ten Pararescueman from New York. Over thirty people in all have signed on to join us throughout the course of the trail. We are currently close to $15,000.00 in donations and hope to see it continue to climb. Look for us on CNN's Lou Dobbs tonight in the upcoming weeks and other media channels as the weeks pass. You'll be able to track us on the Update page of our website- we'll be inserting dates/pictures on the long map and will continue to enter stories from the trail on our blogger. If you've donated, thank you. If you haven't, please do. And collectively, please continue to help us spread the word. Wish us luck and hopefully we'll see some of you in Georgia!
-Craig and Dave
How about helping spread the word about this very ambitious endeavor? As I brought to you in a previous post, Craig and Dave are Air Force Veterans, Craig having recovered from injuries sustained in Afghanistan. There are also a number of individuals, to include active duty military, retirees, and disabled veterans who plan to hike and/or assist with portions of the trail. The money raised is going to Coalition to Salute America's Heroes which works to assist disabled veterans in overcoming their obstacles.
