Jeff Breslow’s Long Trail Hike
272 Miles for Bladder Cancer

Jeffrey Breslow has finished his 272 mile hike of Vermont’s Long Trail, and ended up raising more than $60,000 for BCAN’s programs. Read more about the story of his hike on his blog at http://www.jeffreybreslow.blog.com/

Jeffrey took on this walk in honor of his brother Gene and his dear friend, both of whom have suffered from bladder cancer. The entire trek took nearly the entire month of August, camping out most nights along the way and staying at inns when available. It required approximately a million steps to finish. Check out this wonderful clip about Jeff’s hike that ran on WGN Chicago.

The Long Trail is the oldest hiking trail in the U.S., blazed around 1910. It winds through pristine forests and across ridges of the glorious Green Mountain Range after which Vermont is named. For the first 100 miles – from Massachusetts to Killington, Vermont – it coincides with the Appalachian Trail, which Jeff hopes to tackle in the future.

We’re honored that he chose to recognize us with this hike, and incredibly grateful for the donations he has made possible.

Thank you, Jeffrey! Congratulations on completing an inspiring hike!
