Whitney "Allgood" LaRuffa te grandi nan seksyon riral NH kote li te fòje lanmou li nan deyò yo ak aktivite tankou lapèch, ski, ak vrè lanmou li. Tan li te pase nan Boy scouts te ede l 'siwo myèl deyò pandan li t ap travay wout li pou vin yon Eagle Scout ak gaz pasyon li pou monte distans long.

Whitney te monte plis pase 6,000 kilomèt ak konpayon K-9 li yo pandan ane yo.  Aprè li te jwenn yon chen sou Trail apalachian an 1996, lavi li te chanje pou tout tan. Whitney ak premye chen li Erwin (yo te rele pou vil la Erwin, TN) te travay sou Trail apalachian nan ane 1990 yo kòm Ridge Runners apre vwayaj yo, kote yo te bay edikasyon ak sipò nan yon varyete de itilizatè tren.  Whitney te monte anpil santye long nan peyi Etazini an men li pi fyè de pyonye 20014 li a premye vwayaje nan Trail Chinwa a, yon wout 293 kilomèt nan Rivyè Columbia Gorge nan WA&OR. Lè w pa ede lòt moun aprann sou randone, ou jwenn Whitney ap mache santye yo alantou peyi Etazini an ki bezwen yon douch, yon byè frèt, ak yon pent nan Ben & Jerry.
