The Litchfield County Times of 19 July 2007 has an article by Lauel Tuchy headlined "Hiker For A Cause Stops In Salisbury" that relates the story of the fundraising AT hike by Georgia resident Jim Schiwal. He's raising money to fight the rare genetic disorder known as Cornelia de Lange Syndrome (CdLS).
He started his thru-hike attempt on 8 February 2007 and -- as of 1 August -- was in the White Mountains someplace.
Schiwal has a website documenting his hike. (And the foundation's website has more information about the condition.) Check out his early March entries for mention of a hiker named Clem who was toting his French horn along under orders from his college music professor.
