Two hikers are passing through Eagleville and Worth County this week. The couple, Amanda and Kolton, hiked from Tybee Island (GA) to Don David Park in Oregon. They have been journeying from Georgia since May 1st. Their goal is to raise money for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and the Make a Wish Foundation. They rested on Sunday before resuming their journey on Monday.
Kolton had this to say on their Facebook page, 2918 Miles, on September 14th while in Princeton about their journey and about Amanda: “Another throwback because holy canolie just look at this! The changes we have made and the challenges we have overcome. It is amazing to see the amount of transformation we've had and in so many ways. Mentally, emotionally, physically, material wise, and just generally as humans beings. I am so proud of how capable and strong my best friend is. To witness the internal and external strength of this woman has been simply profound. I love where we've come from and I am thrilled for where we are going. And the best part of it all is that it's together.”
Kolton and Amanda are seeking donations for their journey as well as donations for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and the Make a Wish Foundation. To donate, please email admin@2918miles.com or visit their Facebook page, 2918 Miles. The journey is 2,918 miles, hence the name. Their website is http://site.2918miles.com/.
