Plugging a fundraiser for the AZTA CDTC and TAT?

[Mike Henrick]

Hi,

I'll be starting a year long hike on the Arizona Trail, Continental Divide and Te Araroa and raising money for their respective trail associations via an online crowdfunding website. Too often we take trails for granted and forget about the volunteer run organizations that made them possible in the first place, maintain the tread and expand the trails by negotiating access to private property or conservation land. I hope to change the dialogue about long distance hiking by fundraising for the trails and how important but underfunded the organizations are.

I think there would be a lot of interest in both my trip (planning, gear, execution) and the fundraiser on BPL, but don't want to come off as spam. I'll be blogging about weekly during the next 3 months and hopefully during the hikes as well. Who can I talk to about this?
