An Interview with Author, Jeff Alt


Image
A Walk for Sunshine
Lauren Smith:  Why did you write this book?   

Jeff Alt :  After my expedition, I had a full schedule of speaking events about my Appalachian Trail journey.  I couldn't fit all my stories into each lecture and everyone wanted more. With each lecture, someone would suggest that I write a book so that I could share all my stories.  The rest is history.  
 
Lauren Smith:  Tell us about your journey and your brother, what prompted you to take this on?

Jeff Alt :  I dreamed of walking the Appalachian Trail for years.  When I was a young boy, my family took me on vacation to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. My brothers and I left our parents and a cooler full of food-ill equipped--and hiked along the Appalachian Trail for one night and two days.  We were so glad to return to our parents and fresh food after one night in the woods.  But, the seed had been planted for me to walk the Appalachian Trail.  Fast forward to the early 90's.  My step father and I returned to the Smoky Mountains for a three day hike.  During that trip I decided that I wanted to hike the entire trail.  I planned my five month sojourn after graduate school.  As the opportunity grew closer I realized that I had the physical and mental ability to pursue my dreams but my brother who was born with cerebral palsy is limited in the dreams he can pursue.  I decided to share my journey with my brother who lives in the Sunshine Home.  My brother, Aaron, is nonverbal and wheelchair bound.  He relies on others for all his basic needs.  My family placed Aaron in the Sunshine at the age of 12.  He is medically fragile and was becoming difficult for us to provide all the necessary care.  Sunshine was able to fill this need.  Aaron always has a happy face and seems content.  Aaron's smile has a way of lighting you up.  He loves the outdoors and enjoys strolls along forested paths and sitting outside. 
 
Lauren Smith:  What was the most surprising aspect of your journey?
