After beginning my thru-hike of the PCT last year I was found to have a fractured T7 which led to a density scan to find I had the beginning stages of Osteoporosis. I went back to trail immediately to continue another nearly 4 months. So this year on my 2nd step to achieving the Triple Crown of hiking I am taking on the Appalachian Trail and raising awareness for this crippling disease of Osteoporosis. This is my journey.
