20 years later, this story of celebrating family, stewardship of the earth, good health, and the American spirit still resonates with many.

In this 20th anniversary edition of Jeff Alt's A Walk for Sunshine, Alt takes you along every step of his 2,160-mile trek across the Appalachian Trail. He walked over 5 million steps through freezing temperatures, driving rain, and sunny skies, and the only constant he could rely on was the knowledge that his walk was dedicated to his brother who had been diagnosed with cerebral palsy. It's this adventure that would inspire an annual fundraiser for Sunshine, the home that cares for his brother, and raise over $500,000.

Packed with inspirational stories featuring bears, bugs, blisters (oh my!), hilarious food cravings, skunk bed mates, and captivating characters, Alt details how his experience turned his dreams into goals, and how he was further able to achieve them.
