An entertaining & inspiring adventure along the Appalachian Trail, from Georgia to Maine, over 2,000 miles. A 20th anniversary edition in celebration of the charity Jeff Alt's journey inspired.
In A Walk for Sunshine, Jeff Alt takes you along every step of his 2,160-mile Appalachian Trail (AT) adventure filled with humorous, frightening, and inspirational stories including bears, bugs, blisters, captivating characters, skunk bed mates, and hilarious food cravings.
As Alt walked an estimated 5 million steps, through sub-zero temperatures, extreme heat, driving rain, suffering a sprained ankle, swarms of insects, and sunny skies, he was constantly buoyed by the knowledge that his walk was dedicated to his brother who has cerebral palsy and lives at Sunshine Communities. Alt’s adventure inspired the Sunshine 5k, Walk, Run and Roll which just celebrated its 20th annual event and has raised over $500,000 for people with developmental disabilities.
