My young friend Brian Wilkerson, AKA… Dumb Luck has passed away. He was 27 years old and was diagnosed with luekemia a few weeks before he was to start his 2004 thruhike attempt. For six months of brutal chemo he was able to keep fighting because he still wanted to go hike. He had found something that he really enjoyed and a community that he was happy to be getting to know.
I will be sure that his family gets any messages that are posted here or sent to my email address.
Miss Janet
