Lawrence educator hikes Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine
Harris, a para educator from Sunflower Elementary, left Georgia in March and became the 22nd hiker to reach Maine four months later. He trained at Kansas University, carried minimal gear, gained and then shed calories, and faced snow, cold, and illness. He kept students updated via a trail website and plans to walk Ireland next after recovery.
