Charity Hike Sponsors?

“My impending AT thruhike will be multi-fold. Besides the usual excuses used so's to spend several months walking around in the woods, I wanna help raise money for my Number One charity - Spastic Paraplegia Foundation.

They are on board with this, and will, among other things, provide a hike page at their website.
sp-foundation.org

They asked me about potential sponsorships. I said I would ask.

Any of you TTers have an ear to this ground?”

“I would be willing to make a private citizen's donation (in real money, not Canuck Monopoly money).

Doug”

“That would be great - go directly to their website for that if you want. Or, you can pledge to donate "X amount" for every mile I do along the AT. Or both :)



It would be interesting to see if manufactures or distributors would sponsor me. That is, donate boots, pack, tent, etc...

Mebbe they could have an add on the website in return? I dunno. I'll get off my lazy butt and sit down at the web for a while - Google like the wind, I will...”

“Prolly no less than one cup, but not more than 8 oz. Prolly averages out to about a half pint.”
