Thank you! God bless you and yours. 💙☀️🙏🏼

Absolutely! We will do our very best to stay at as many hostels and shop in the towns that were affected, as budget allows, of course. It can get very expensive, very quickly, especially with 2 of us, but it’s our goal to support the trail towns as much as possible. 💙☀️🙏🏼

Thank you. It is an honor and a blessing to do whatever we can to help Appalachia heal, recover, and eventually rebuild. I pray your home and family are ok. 💙☀️🙏🏼

Thank you so much! We appreciate your kindness and support! 💙☀️🙏🏼

Hahaha, I think you are absolutely right! It called us back and I do believe that first 700 miles was a warm up because God had a better plan. Thank you so much for your kindness, generosity and support. Can’t wait for February! 💙☀️🙏🏼

Thank you! We appreciate your kindness and support! 💙☀️🙏🏼

Thank you! We are, too! Can’t wait for February! 💙☀️🙏🏼

Thank you for your kind words! We will do our best to keep Appalachia and their needs in the forefront. Little Bear and I are dedicating our Appalachian Trail thru hike attempt to Healing for Appalachia. We hope to continue to raise awareness and funds as we walk from Georgia to Maine. We hope you’ll join us!

Aww, that’s so cool! Thanks for thinking of us. I look forward to that section again! February will be here before we know it! So excited! We hope you’ll join us again! 💙☀️🙏🏼

Hey friend!! Haha, sorry, I should have clarified on your post. Thank you for your kind words. Little Bear is so awesome, truly the toughest human I’ve met to date! I’m so happy to hear your wife is well and you’re able to get on the AT! Thank God for her healing! We hope to meet you on trail! Let’s do this! 💙☀️🙏🏼

It’s a blessing to give back to Appalachia in any way that we can. God bless! 💙☀️🙏🏼

I am in bad health and 67 this month I wish I could come and help I live in Unicoi TN we did not get much but Erwin did I will miss our Hospital

@sueholder1822 I’m praying for your health to improve.

Hey friend!! Thank you! We’re stoked! Hiking for Appalachia means so much to us. We pray we’re able to continue to raise awareness as people tend to forget as the months pass, as well as funds to help them heal, recover, and eventually rebuild. I’ll message you with tentative start date. 🙏🏼

Hi there! Thank you for your interest. 😊 So, no matter what, we will miss our family and it will be a challenge. But, this time, we have a different mindset….not better or worse, just different. On our first go round, we were hiking just for fun. Smiles over miles. So, when we missed our family more than we were having fun, it was an easy choice to come home. The fun wasn’t worth missing our family anymore. This time, we are hiking for a cause that we’re passionate about, a cause that’s much bigger than hiking just for fun. It’s something to fight for and worth being away from our family. We can achieve smiles and miles and further the worthy cause of continuing to raise awareness and funds to help our beloved Appalachia heal, recover, and eventually rebuild. Mindset and purpose: those are the biggest game changers. Additionally, my family will hopefully be able to visit more this coming year, but if not, it’s something we will work through together. And we will lean on God more than we did last time. We will lean on Him for strength instead of trying to muscle through it on our own.

Thank you for watching. Our hope is that we can continue to spread the word about the devastation and needs of Appalachia. We cannot let them be forgotten.

I’m so grateful to my husband. He is truly my biggest supporter and best friend. 💙 Thank you so much. We are honored. Together, I believe we can all make a huge difference for Appalachia! Can’t wait til February! 💙☀️🙏🏼

Thank you! We’re excited and ready. We will start over at Springer. Can’t wait!! God bless! 💙☀️🙏🏼

It was such a beautiful hike! The first time we’ve caught the peak fall season. 🍁 The leaves were so golden and looked like they were on fire! Stunning!

Thank you so much. I couldn’t stop smiling. A dream come true! My family is my whole heart. Now, if I can figure out how to bring my oldest daughter, all the dogs and cats, it would be perfect! 😊

Thank you! I think mid February will be perfect for us. We have very warm winter gear, plus, it’ll hopefully spare us from the difficult heat of the height of summer. Some people are leaving January 1. I think that might be a little too cold for a little too long for us. We’ll see you on trail! 💙☀️🙏🏼

Thank you! I’m using my iPhone 15 ProMax. 😊

Thank you for caring. We will do our best! A few great groups you can join and follow on Facebook are the Cajun Navy Relief and Boone’s Brigade. They consistently post the most current needs of some of the affected areas. I also repost on my Facebook page and occasionally post here on our community page.

Thank you! I agree. I’m currently talking to Samaritan’s Purse and hope to firm up the details soon! Thank you for your support! February will be here before we know it. 💙☀️🙏🏼

Thank you for your kind words and encouragement! We feel such peace and calmness and confidence going into this hike. We’re ready! Hope to meet you near Pine Grove Furnace. 💙☀️🙏🏼

That seems lovely! We’re still in the high 80’s and sweating bullets! 🥵

Amen!!! Thank you for sharing this! We are humbled and honored to follow God’s plan. We appreciate your support and are excited to share this journey with you. 💙☀️🙏🏼 God bless!

Hi there! Thank you. After completing 758 miles this year, we left a big part of our hearts in Appalachia. Once we came back from our volunteer work in Erwin a few weeks ago, the strong pull to help in whatever way that we can is leading this effort. I’m currently talking to a few people and getting guidance on the best way to go about it. I should have a link to a page where people can donate soon. Once I post it, one of the biggest ways you can help is to share it so it reaches as many people as possible. We’ll need help getting the word out and that will take all hands on deck. Thank you for your offer to help. We appreciate you so much. 💙☀️🙏🏼 We hope to see you out there next year!

Thank you. ☺️ They are truly my whole heart. I’m so thankful for their unconditional love and support!

Thanks so much! Good luck to you! I’m sure we’ll see you out there! 💙☀️🙏🏼

Thank you for praying! God hears us! 💙☀️🙏🏼

Going with a plan is a great idea. We went, completely prepared to be self sufficient with camping supplies and food. It can be tough to get in contact with some of the organized groups because they are overwhelmed and doing the best that they can. They all have their own lives, including jobs, family, etc to care for as they selflessly volunteer. So, please be patient and keep trying to reach them. They need every one of us!

Hi there!! Welcome! We’re so glad you’re here! We sure didn’t see this coming, but we’re excited for all that is to come! Thank you for joining us and sharing our Hike for Healing in Appalachia adventure! 💙☀️🙏🏼

Hi there! The ACC has been involved from the very beginning, so I can’t say that there isn’t or hasn’t been displaced folks there. Everyone in Appalachia is coming together to help in different ways. It’s such a beautiful thing.

@wildflowersadventures it is a wonderful thing. Thank you and your family for all you do

Thank you so much. The volunteers, sawyers, and trail maintainers are working so hard and making a lot of progress! There will definitely be some reroutes (particularly around the Nolichucky River in Erwin). If we need to shuttle around a closed section, we will and then come back later that year to complete it. The southern portion of the trail will certainly look different than when we hiked it before.

Hey there! No, I haven’t heard of them, but they sound pretty awesome! Maybe I’ll check them out! Thank you for the suggestion! We appreciate your kind words. We are honored to hike for such a worthy cause. 💙☀️🙏🏼

💙💙💙

That makes three of us! 😂 We didn’t see this coming either, but we’re so grateful for this opportunity. Thank you for your kindness and support. Let’s do this together! 💙☀️🙏🏼

Thank you so much! We hope you’ll join us as we hike for healing in Appalachia! 💙☀️🙏🏼

Thank you so much. We appreciate your support. 🙏🏼

Thank you so much for your prayers and support. It means the world to us. We’re so happy you’ll join us in our journey. 💙☀️🙏🏼

@ just fyi I live on Lookout Mountain. If you guys are this way at Cloudland Canyon please give me a shout would love to bring you a bit of trail Magic. Blessings!

@cindymessinger7666 Oh!! One of our favorite places in the world. We were just there in September and plan to go back once we complete the AT next year. 💙☀️🙏🏼

Thanks Winkle! We appreciate you so much. We’re excited to get out there and Hike for Healing in Appalachia! God’s plan is so much better than any we can imagine. 💙☀️🙏🏼

Oh wow! Thank you for sharing! God is so good. I’m so glad you received His word and chose obedience. The life He has for us is so much better than trying to do it on our own. For as long as I can remember, God has always spoken to Little Bear in her dreams. Her relationship with Him is so special. 💙 Thank you for your prayers. I can’t tell you how much they mean to us. When we were out there walking this year, we felt like we were walking in a bubble of protection and we know that’s because of your prayers. Thank you for joining us again next year as we Hike for Healing for Appalachia! 💙☀️🙏🏼

@wildflowersadventures You're very welcome❤ We serve an amazing God. We have not stop praying for all those affected by the hurricane, and the Lord has put appalachia in our 💕s.

Thank you!! We are so glad you’ll join us! Let’s do this!

Thank you! We hope you’ll join us. It’s going to be an epic adventure! 💙☀️🙏🏼

Amen! God is so good!! All the time! Thank you for your kind words. We sincerely appreciate them as it gives us so much encouragement. (And yes! I most definitely would fight a gator or moccasin or whatever to save a kitten, puppy, raccoon, squirrel, etc! 😂 I literally prayed over us for protection when I thought we were going in! I rebuked anything dangerous!) We pray that we can continue to support Appalachia and that this walk for healing benefits them in a big way! Together, we can make a difference! Love and light to you! 💙☀️🙏🏼
