I will be hiking the 4-State Challenge, a 44 mile (give or take) section of the Appalachian Trail connecting Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, along with a few friends.  The Challenge is to complete the entire section in less than 24 hours.  

I have done the Maryland Challenge once before just for fun, but wanted to put my effort to good use this year and support an amazing local organization -- Gabriel Network.

Over the past 25 years, Gabriel Network has served over 18,000 women and children through their network of supporting churches and their maternity homes.  I am hoping to raise $10 for every mile walked to help Gabriel Network save more lives and serve mothers even better this year.
