Troy Galyon is a lifelong runner and Appalachian Trail thru-hiker, who completed something only a few thousand others have been able to accomplish. Not only that, but his journey helped raise close to $7,000 for cancer research as he partnered with MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. The trials of the trail gave Troy only a slight idea of the struggle his father was experiencing daily with his cancer treatments, but it also gave hope to his father to continue each day. Troy's aim is to show people that wealth and status are not necessary in changing lives and making the world a better place.

We have almost just one week left until my campaign is over. I have to reach 500 pre-orders before February 12th! Please get a copy and share this campaign with everyone you know!
I just asked Publisher to raise the limit on number of people who could pre-order a single copy for $25. They have upped that from 200 to 250 people, but after we hit that magic number, the only bonuses left will start at $50! Get your copies quick, and if you know someone who would be interested, get one for them too by choosing the "Share with a Friend" bonus.
My featured supporter bonus has SOLD OUT! If you are interested in having your name featured in the manuscript, please contact me, and I will try to raise the limit to get you written in as an early contributor.
I also only have 2 more spots left for the panel which will include thru-hikers who have completed the AT, PCT, CDT, and more.
We are SO close to reaching 500 pre-orders! Help get me there!! Again, I can't thank you all enough. I am humbled and amazed at the support you have given me.
Photo credits go to Caleb Chang on this one. Here we are in the mid-Atlantic region of the trail. Mario is pictured with me. The three of us shared around 1,000 miles together. They are the day-to-day motivation that kept me going through the worst parts of the trail and the deepest valleys of my mental fortitude.
