A WALK FOR SUNSHINE A 2,160-Mile Expedition For Charity on the Appalachian Trail

2,160—that’s the number of miles walked by the author as he traversed the length of the Appalachian Trail to raise money for the group home where his disabled brother lives. Kirby Heyborne’s voice is well suited to the author’s exuberance. Heyborne ably grasps Alt’s trekking trials and successes and recounts how his wild idea eventually spawned an annual fund-raising event for the group home, Sunshine. Heyborne keeps the listener moving step by step through painful blisters, drenching rainfall, arduous rock fields—and the camaraderie of Alt’s fellow hikers. The sense of triumph builds until the author finally reaches the end of his journey at the top of Mt. Katahdin in Maine. M.L.R. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2012]
