Most of you know me by Bryan "The Dude" some locally know me as the GM of papa johns in Franklin NC. I ended up having a stroke on 6/11/26. It has affected my vision and ability to walk it will be a long recovery road and a lot of PT but I plan on full recovery God willing. I am asking for everyone thoughts and prayers and asking for any donations to help with day to day expenses to ease the stress during recovery. I am not able to drive. Work let alone walk to restroom without help. Thank you to everyone who can help and the wonderful hiker community I have worked with over the last 5 years. I am going to do everything in my power to make it for nobo season and my 6th year. I added the link which also says more and mine/wife cash app and venmo.
