In 2017, as I was about to graduate from Ole Miss and enter the real world, I decided to embark on a section hike of the Appalachian Trail. However, I quickly realized that I couldn't afford to fund the journey on my own. That's when I decided to create a Kickstarter campaign to raise the necessary funds. In return, my backers received a photo book documenting the trail's first 200 miles, allowing them to experience the journey alongside me.
Thanks to the support of my backers, my Kickstarter campaign was a success, and I was able to embark on the incredible journey of a lifetime. As I made my way along the trail, I was humbled by the breathtaking views and inspired by the amazing people I met. The experience left an indelible mark on me, and I'll always be grateful for the support of my backers that made it possible.
My section hike of the Appalachian Trail was an adventure that I'll never forget, and it wouldn't have been possible without the generosity of those who supported my Kickstarter campaign. The photo book that I created is a testament to the beauty of the trail and the generosity of its community, and I'm proud to have been a part of it.
