Michael J Fox Foundation MVP Gala weekend
We were invited to the Team Fox MVP Gala weekend in New York City where the Michael J Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research celebrates their top fundraisers from the previous year. Because of YOU, we were in the top 30 fundraising teams for Team Fox!! THANK YOU! We were also given the award of “Rookie of the Year” out of the hundreds of new fundraising teams. New York was such a blast and we feel so grateful for everything we were able to accomplish as a team on the Appalachian Trail!!

You can donate here: fundraise.michaeljfox.org/endurancegeneral/ATforPD Looking back we made quite a few videos that recapped our journey every few days, and that's a lot to digest. So, we've created a video that's just shy of an hour which provides the full overview of our journey. It's almost like your watching for favorite show! In any case, we'd love it if you watched, commented below, and ...

You can donate here: fundraise.michaeljfox.org/end… You guys! It's finally time to reunite with our dog, Eve! This was one of the most requested videos for when we finished the Appalachian Trail, so we made sure to film it - both of us separately - to really get all the love from Eve. We hope you enjoy! And, our journey is still not over, we are still fighting hard for Parkinson's Disease. Plea...

You can donate here: fundraise.michaeljfox.org/endurancegeneral/ATforPD The day has finally come...our last day on trail! We cannot believe it. It has been 5 months and 4 days hiking southbound on the Appalachian Trail all in support for Parkinson's Disease research. These last 13.2 miles through the summit of Springer Mt. and down to Amicalola Falls are so meaningful to us. Not only because we...

You can donate here: fundraise.michaeljfox.org/endurancegeneral/ATforPD Well folks, it's officially the beginning of the end. Day 152 & 153 are the third and second last days on trail as we make our way through Georgia. This part of the trail is already somewhat sentimental for us as we used to hike these trails when we lived in this area roughly 12 years ago. We were able to summit Blue Mt. an...

We had a pep in our step because after 5 months into our journey we have finally made it to Georgia! We are so thrilled to be in state 14, which essentially feels like home for us as we lived here for 8 years, and Gretja went to high school and coll...

You can donate here: fundraise.michaeljfox.org/endurancegeneral/ATforPD We are in cruise control right now coming out of the Smoky Mountains and into North Carolina. We are summiting plenty of Balds and Mountains such as Rocky Bald, Wayah Bald, Siler Bald, and Albert Mt. And, best of all we're having a great time! It's crazy to think how these 20 mile days are this easy! Well, maybe not easy, b...

Day 145-147 were days we were taking it all in. We had some fantastic views again at Wesser Bald Fire Tower and our amazing Trail Angels, Marty & Wendy and Lori & Jerry, really stepped up big for us. We can't thank you enough, and you have n...

You can donate here: fundraise.michaeljfox.org/endurancegeneral/ATforPD We're zooming right through the Smokey's on day 143 & 144, on our way to some major milestones! First, we made it up to the highest point on the A.T., Clingsman Dome, at a whopping 6,643 ft! We're above the clouds and you can see it in the video. Breathtaking to say the least. In addition, we passed the 2,000 mile marker on...

You can donate here: fundraise.michaeljfox.org/endurancegeneral/ATforPD Well, we're officially in the Smokey Mountains! Day 141 was the first day hiking into the Smokey's and it sure held up to their name. Each view we thought we'd get was obscured by the clouds or "smoke" in every direction. And what made matters worse was that it was raining most of the day. So, while we hiked 17 miles and st...

We started Day 138 being dropped off by Tina our trail angel and a climb of Bluff Mountain, which is roughly 2,500 ft. We then made our way toward Lemon Gap. Day 139 was a bit more challenging as we were dodgin...

You can donate here: fundraise.michaeljfox.org/endurancegeneral/ATforPD Day 136 & 137 were a great mix of what makes the Appalachian Trail so great. First, we started day 136 off hiking in a bunch of rain, but because we were hiking up Big Butt the jokes made it easier to handle. And, we know that we'd be picked up later in the day by my college roommate Shannon who I haven't seen in over a yea...

You can donate here: fundraise.michaeljfox.org/endurancegeneral/ATforPD Day 134 & 135 were more big climbing days, and luckily for us we had these nice climbs to keep us warm as the temperatures averaged in the high 20's and low 30's. We passed through Erwin, TN on our way to No Business Knob, the easier of the climbs. And then onto Big Bald which had an elevation of over 5,500 ft! A good test ...

We summited Roan Mountain, one of the highest climbs yet, and a few smaller mountains in the Unaka Range. Across both days we hiked over 43 miles and banks some time in case we need an zero day or if the weather doesn't cooperate! A special sho...

We hiked over 20 miles, climbed to the top of White Rock Mt., and saw the beautiful Laurel Falls. A special shoutout to trail angels Ben & Heather for letting us stay with you and feeding us! Always much appreciated after long hiking days. Day 131 was ...
