I have hiked about a 1000 miles on past hikes. I'm heading out in July to hopefully complete the parts of the trail I haven't hiked. I wouldn't bother with trying to get a sponsorship. The only suggestions I have for making extra money would probably be the same as you see on other blogs. I'm doing a medical study for extra money right now. It will easily provide me with enough money for the hike. Hiking isn't very expensive it is covering ongoing expenses back home that can be expensive. I haven’t done my hike for this year yet.

I hiked 470 miles in spring of '08, part of an intended thru-hike. I'm trying to get out there and finish this year. Do you have any suggestions on earning money for the trip, or know of any sponsorship programs? Thanks for any info. Steve. Hi Andy, have you done the hike yet?

As long as you have some insurance that it's not a harmful study, that can be a great way to make some extra cash. Good luck!
