Hello! My name is J.J. King and I am fundraising for Food Bank of Wyoming at a nominal rate of one penny per mile while hiking along the American Discovery Trail (ADT). From Delaware’s sandy beaches, to Nebraska’s sand hills, I plan to continue walking across Wyoming for a total of 3,225 miles, as time and weather permit. I will need to average 21 miles per day … and pray … and eat lots of ice cream.

Would you donate 45 cents to Food Bank of Wyoming if someone hiked across Delaware?  Might you increase your gift to $11.00 when I continue across Ohio?  What about when I cross into Wyoming?  

Would you consider donating 1¢ for each mile of my hike? Every dollar raised provides enough for four meals, which means your $32.00 will provide 128 meals to Wyoming neighbors facing hunger. 

Every donation will be collected directly by Food Bank of Wyoming and I will not receive any portion of any donation. 

Following my career in the United States Navy, I completed long distance hiking trails such as the entire Appalachian, Ice Age, New England, Tahoe Rim, and the Wonderland totaling 3,758 miles.  I have hiked 1,140 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail, and two traverses of the Grand Canyon and a bicycle ride across America totaling 4,646 miles. 

My American Discovery Trail hike will commence on May 1, 2022, and I have plans to complete my adventure in September 2022. 

I want to extend my heartfelt appreciation and sincere gratitude for your support to Food Bank of Wyoming. It's dedicated staff and their untiring volunteers; and our fellow citizens of Wyoming.  Thank you for your inspiring participation and taking action to end hunger in Wyoming.
