Trail Name:
Allgood

Whitney "Allgood" LaRuffa cresceu na zona rural de NH, onde forjou o seu amor pelo ar livre e por actividades como a pesca, o esqui e a sua verdadeira paixão, a mochila às costas. O tempo que passou nos escuteiros ajudou-o a aperfeiçoar as suas aptidões ao ar livre, enquanto trabalhava para se tornar escuteiro e alimentou a sua paixão por caminhadas de longa distância.

Whitney já percorreu mais de 6.000 quilómetros com os seus companheiros K-9 ao longo dos anos. Depois de encontrar um cão no Trilho dos Apalaches em 1996, a sua vida mudou para sempre. Whitney e o seu primeiro cão, Erwin (nomeado em homenagem à cidade de Erwin, TN), trabalharam no Trilho dos Apalaches nos anos 90 como Ridge Runners após a sua caminhada, onde forneceram educação e apoio a uma variedade de utilizadores do trilho. Whitney percorreu muitos trilhos longos nos Estados Unidos, mas orgulha-se mais da sua primeira caminhada pioneira de 20014 do Chinook Trail, um percurso de 293 milhas através do desfiladeiro do rio Columbia em WA&OR. Quando não está a ajudar os outros a aprender sobre caminhadas, pode encontrar o Whitney a percorrer os trilhos dos EUA a precisar de um duche, uma cerveja fresca e uma caneca de Ben & Jerry's.
