Asheville hiker John Kelleher wrote on Mission Manna's blogsite:
Dear everyone who supported the walk for Haiti,
On September 17th, I finished the Pacific Crest Trail. I camped near the
trailhead in Canada that night and I wrote my final thoughts regarding
comparisons between the trail, American society and current Haitian life.
It’s not very long but its a little too long for email. I’ll post it on
the website in a week or so and send the link, if you are interested
Meanwhile, I did post a video on YouTube of my finishing.
The link is at http://youtu.be/g3GrZGtbLsU
I really appreciate all the support, and Mission Manna will use that money
to the fullest. I ended up hiking 2,655 miles. Most people pledged 1 cent
per mile, so the total comes up to $26.55. If you pledged more, just do
the math.
Meanwhile, I’ll send you that link when I get it up here in a few days.
Take care and Ill talk to you soon,
John Kelleher
