Trail Mail: Andover, Maine

Today we picked up the trail mail in Andover, Maine and we were very happy to have received 3 very large boxes from 2 of our wonderful sponsors Altrec.com / GreatOutdoors.com and Blue Ridge Mountain Sports.

The boxes were full of valuable rain, hiking, and camping gear.  We also received shoes and clothing from The North Face, Patagonia, La Sportiva and Mountain Hard Wear.  Last, we received an entire box full of freeze dried food.  All of these items were much needed.  Ben will be able to stay drier than before with the new rain gear we received.  

Ben Davis and the entire staff at the 2175forALS Project would like to extend a very gracious “Thank You” to Altrec.com / GreatOutdoors.com and Blue Ridge Mountain Sports.  It is because of wonderful sponsors like yourselves that our trek across The Appalachian Trail in order to raise funds and awareness for ALS has been possible. 

We simply would not be able to be doing this without your support!

It only takes a small spark to start a roaring fire. Fine supporters like you are the fuel to our red hot flame now burning passionately for ALS awareness.
