Thank you everyone that took the time to send us stuff on the trail. The letters and food were appreciated and added excitement to our days.
Help Us Help Others
For every mile Mr. DeVoe hikes, he will be donating a penny to the Groton environmental science club, Generation - Z. Kevin will be donating to The Nature Conservancy. If you are interested in helping either cause, please fill out the form below:
