Hey everyone-

This is the third year of my campaign to raise over $10,000 to help protect and maintain the Long Trail.

With your help I raised $2,839 in 2022 and $3,750 in 2023. I took last year off (was fundraising for a friend's health). But I'm excited to be back this year to complete my goal!

To top $10,000 for the three year total we need to raise

$3,411 in 2025

We can do it!

I kicked off the campaign by personally donating $272 which represents the miles the Long Trail covers from Massachusetts to Canada.

Completing my end-to-end in 2021 was a huge highlight for me, and I haven't stopped! I still get out on the LT as often as I can.

I haven't yet identified which section I'm going to hike on Long Trail Day, which is Saturday, September 20 - stay tuned.

Meanwhile, I hope you'll dig deep and give what you can to help protect and maintain this critical recreational and economic resource in Vermont. Like hiking, it is incredibly rewarding to push yourself when you give. Your donation makes a difference. Thank you for considering.

Here's how you can help:

• Donate: Contribute whatever you can!
• Spread the Word: Share my fundraising page with your friends, family, and social networks. 

LOVE and THANK YOU!

XO

Porter
