Welcome. You're about to hop on the Appalachian Trail and become part of the 2009 thru-hike of Chris Hennig, whose trail name was "Feed Bag." While Feed Bag took in all the personal benefits of spending hours alone in the woods (getting in better shape, crying, pondering the meaning of life), there is a purpose greater than that for which he hiked: to make the world a better place for children. And you can be a part of this journey starting now...and help make a difference!

Start Date: 3/29/09 End Date: 9/5/09

Thanks for stopping by the site. You may have heard about me from my hometown paper, the Chillicothe Gazette, and can’t believe a Ross County kid would hike through 14 states. Or you might not even know me — maybe read a story on RelevantMagazine.com and felt compelled to learn more about child sponsorship or the AT.

Either way, welcome! Make yourself at home here and be sure to visit the Sponsorship link. That’s the heart of the hike. I really would love to see 2,200 kids sponsored by the time I reach the top of Mt. Katahdin. Please consider how you can be part of one child’s life.

Thanks for coming by! There’s more to come, so sign up for the updates to find out if I make it.

-Chris
