101K Trees

Why I'm Doing It:

** 101 Trees Update! **

As many of you know, my journey on the Appalachian Trail was cut short due to a knee injury. But I'm back on my feet, fully recovered, and more determined than ever to see our tree campaign through to the end.

Inspired by my youngest daughter, Aly, who will run her first marathon, I will run with her to close out this campaign in Richmond, Virginia, on November 16, 2024. Our oldest daughter, Taylor, an experienced marathoner, will be participating in the 8k.

With just five weeks left, we're in a sprint to the finish line. That's why I've adjusted our goal to 101 thousand trees. If we can achieve this, we'll be making a significant impact, converting nearly 5 million pounds of carbon into oxygen yearly!

The cause of climate action has never been more urgent. The past two years have been the hottest in recorded history, creating increasingly destructive storms like Hurricane Helen and Hurricane Milton, heading towards Florida as I write this as potentially one of the most damaging hurricanes in US history.

The climate crisis affects all of us - there is no haven. If we come together, we have unimaginable power to help fight off the worst of it.

Trees are just one part, but they are our most powerful, all-natural weapon against climate change. They clean the air by capturing carbon and converting it to oxygen.

Anyone can join for just $1.00 a tree!* One Tree Planted allows you to direct your gift to one of six different regions worldwide.

I want to thank everyone who followed my hike and contributed to this crusade. Thanks to you, we are already at 13 percent or more of our goal.

My father encouraged me to "Finish up strong, Artie," borrowing the mantra from Deerfield Academy's legendary head of school, Frank Boyden.

Let's finish up strong together!

*Note: There is a two-tree or $2.00 minimum
