Why walk across the whole USA? There are many reasons, but a strikingly large percentage of people walking the American Discovery Trail are driven by a greater cause, striving to raise funds or awareness in support of something of personal relevance. This episode explores that topic with two ADT walkers. Dee Fournier (deegoesfromtrialtotrail.com), one of the most recent people to complete the ADT, devoted her walk to raising awareness about domestic violence, while Robin Grapa (somanymiles.wordpress.com), one of the earliest ADT finishers, was focused on aplastic anemia and MDS. They describe how the cause shaped their experience and reflect on the impact they made.
