WHEN: Thursday, October 27th, 2011, 6:30pm, FREE
Alt takes you along every step of his 2,160-mile Appalachian Trail adventure filled with hilarious and engaging tales, stunning photography, and music based on his new edition of A Walk for Sunshine (book & DVD). You will hear humorous, frightening, and inspirational stories including: bears, bugs, blisters, interesting characters, skunk bedmates, mice, and hilarious food cravings.
Alt shares hilarious food cravings from the trail?the tree branch looked like New York Strip, the dirt kicked in with the snow, looked like Oreo cookie ice-cream. You will learn how he ate a large pizza as a snack, a dozen donuts before breakfast; and still lost 30 pounds from burning 4-6,000 calories a day on the trail?the equivalence of running two marathons a day.
Alt made his original trek to raise money for Sunshine, the home where his brother with cerebral palsy lives. Alt?s journey changed the lives of Sunshine?s residents with special needs by inspiring an annual walk that has raised over $250,000. For additional information, visit http://jeffalt.com/media.asp
