65 days and 2,175 miles for ALS
Ben Davis and Rick Cheever reaches the end of the Appalachian trail. http://www.2175forals.com/ Less than a year ago, Ben Davis was personally impacted by two different men who were diagnosed with ALS. Both have since passed away. Ben was inspired by the courage they both exuded despite their diagnosis. "It truly makes you wonder how any one of us would handle such news" he says. Because of their inspiration, Ben has gone on leave from his job to trek from Maine to Georgia along the 2,175 mile long Appalachian Trail, starting September 21st. This epic journey will last for 65+ days. Each day is being dedicated to a specific ALS hero. We will share their brave and inspiring stories online @ 2175forALS.com.
