Hey everybody!!
My name is Bobby and I am section hiking the Appalachian Trail. I just happened to also be born with a complex congenital heart defect (single ventricle), and I thought hiking was impossible because often a simple walk left me short of breathy. By the time I was 5 years old, I had 4 open heart surgeries and had spent 6 months in ICU. But I never gave up and worked really hard to become a strong hiker. I plan on hiking the entire AT trail in a combination of day hikes, backpacking and camping trips. Hiking the AT is important for me to do because I want to inspire all people to do something that they think is impossible, whether or not they have a disability. By watching my video, I hope they will be inspired to try. I am always up for a challenge and find ways to do something even if it is hard for me. Please support me by subscribing if you want or just watching my random videos.
Thanks so much
