Eric Long again, in the Williamsport (PA) Sun-Gazette, has an article about a local hiker starting out on a thru-hike attempt. It's in the 1 April 2007 issue, headlined "One of his ‘biggest hikes ever’."
The hiker is Aaron Faust, identified as "a former city resident." He's using the hike to raise money to fight cancer (see the web site).
Faust has hiked in various places, says he plans on staying in shelters and that "I will probably take a tent, too."
His family was aiming on driving him to Springer on Easter Sunday.
There's a longer version of this article at this location. Same author, same date ... I don't know, maybe one was for online consumption and the other one was in print on paper? This version is titled "Hiker with a cause: Former city resident to tackle Appalachian Trail, fight cancer."
