Long distance hiker Hawkeye Johnson starts the final leg of his Pacific Crest Trail fundraising hike in July 2011. This is his 4th summer hiking for his GoHawkeye fundraising campaign.

Hawkeye created the GoHawkeye fundraising campaign in 2007 to combine his passion for long distance hiking and for working with people with disabilities. GoHawkeye raises funds for the Telluride Adaptive Sports Program (TASP), a non-profit organization dedicated to enriching the lives of people with disabilities by providing educational and recreational opportunities that develop life skills and personal growth.

In 2007, Hawkeye completed the entire 3,000 mile Continental Divide Trail as his first fundraising hike. That hike raised over $17,000 for TASP programs, funding the creation of a high-definition video resource library. After a year off in 2008 to mend a broken leg, Hawkeye completed 2,300 miles of the PCT in California in 2009 and 2010. In 2011, he will hike the remaining 350 miles in Oregon. When Hawkeye finishes the hike, he will have achieved a double "Triple Crown" - hiking each of the three U.S. National Scenic Trails; the Pacific Crest Trail in the West, the Continental Divide Trail in the Rockies, and the Appalachian Trail in the East, which runs from Georgia to Maine - for a second time.

Hawkleye has been involved with TASP for over 10 years as a blind hiking and skiing guide, ski/snowboard instructor and staff trainer. The inspiration he receives working with people with disabilities who overcome challenges helps sustain him on his many journeys. You can support TASP by pledging per mile or making a flat donation to GoHawkeye.
