Sandalwood Pantry is delighted to introduce a great man and volunteer for our cause! Mitchell Tennison

I am a former Navy SEAL of ten years and have yearned to hike the Appalachian Trail since I discovered long distance hiking years ago. I will be setting the record for an UNASSISTED trek of the 2,175 miles that the trail covers from Springer Mountain in Georgia to Katahdin in Maine. I'm doing this for many reasons but mainly to raise money for the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) and the Sandalwood Food Pantry on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. I have been sponsored by Outside Hilton Head, a local outfitter that I personally compare to a small version of REI. If you are ever on Hilton Head you must check them out. They'll have everything you need for your outdoor adventures.

There are three ways to donate and I've made it very simple. First, if you would like to donate directly to my efforts, keeping in mind that without a certain amount of donations it will be extremely difficult to pull this off. You may send a check or money order in my name to;

PO Box 23242 Hilton Head Island, SC. 29925

If you would like to donate to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, go to; www.missingkids.com and click on donate, click the online donation button and in the IN HONOR OF box simply write AT Hike.

If you would like to donate to the Sandalwood Food Pantry, go to www.sandalwoodfoodpantry.com and make sure you write the AT Hike in the IN HONOR OF box.
