It was great to meet you, Lindsey. Your story, and that of your family rallying around you is an inspiration.

Way to go Sharon!

Hey David! I've been following you on your wonderful journey on the AT. You have the gift of inspiration and positivity with each step you move forward. Stay motivated, my friend! Soak in the beauty and splendor of creation. You're doing great, and continue inspiring those who watch your videos and those you cross paths with! As a geology major, I have to say that you rock!

[@5StackHikes]

Thanks Joe!

Great break day video. Thank you for sharing the stories.

This has to have been the best video so far! I shared it with my friend Donna whose daughter also had two transplants due to this disease. She is also involved with the PSC partnership organization. She was so pleased to see it since it is such a rare disease she knows no other one who has had almost the exact same experiences. So, thank you. Roanoke is such a beautiful town. It is awesome to have the views of the mountains. every time you look outside. I pray your test results come out as you hope! Be safe and have a wonderful hike for the days to come!

[@5StackHikes]

Wow! Great to hear that Donna & her daughter are already connected with PSC Partners!

[@Davidadventures]

We passed you during the night in Roanoke as we sped south to Amicalola Falls. We are checking in today for our NOBO hike. It's been great following you on your great adventure. You knowledge, integrity and Southern manner is an inspiration to all. Don't forget to enjoy every moment. It's not a race, this will be an adventure that will end too soon and one that will always live wild in your heart.

[@5StackHikes]

Congratulations on getting started! I am excited for you.

[@alexandrawashburn96]

You go David! Congrats! You got this! Hugs to my aunt Sharon for being a great tour guide and explaining about her experiences through this journey!

Glad you got to experience the Star mountain view of the Roanoke valley between the Blue Ridge and Appalachian ridges. Kudos to Sharon on her excellent guidance tour!

[@SharonNanz]

We had a great time!

[@markviers998]

Welcome to my neck of the trail, well almost. I'm about 36 miles east as the crow flies from the dome on Apple Orchard. Roanoke is an interesting City to visit.

[@debbihuff6870]

I love Roanoke. My son lived there for a time so I got to visit often. We hiked part of the AT to McAfee Knob. Wore us out! Continued well wishes for your hike of the AT.

[@dannythecamper4186]

Good video with a look around Roanoke WV, so let's keep on hiking 😊

[@DeborahDeSantis-l7z]

I missed the name of the disease...PSE?

I’m doing slackpacking in Roanoke area in July. MAVERICK

[@richardross7219]

I am rooting for you. I am concerned that you looked like you have lost a bunch of weight. Take a close look at your diet. You may need a lot more calories and proteins. Try the Carnation Essentials. Nice video. Happy Trails. Good Luck, Rick

[@5StackHikes]

Thanks. I have lost weight, but I think I have leveled off. I ate pretty much all day today..

[@SharonNanz]

I can attest that he consumed a lot of calories while he was here! He also checked his weight on my scale and is holding steady. I plied him with food frequently and sent him off this morning with a good lunch. :)
