At age 72, I am planning to walk across American to bring awareness of how exercise etc. can help bring about a healthier heart and vascular system, lower blood pressure, etc., and to raise funds, as well, for the American Heart Association. I welcome you to follow me on my journey! My plan for 2010 is to walk from Lewes, DE to St. Louis, MO or further if possible. In 2005 I was leading a sedentary life and weighed 201 lbs. I started walking and then running and lost 36 lbs, significantly lowered my blood pressure, my bad cholesterol, and raised my good cholesterol equally. My journey will commence on or about April 30th. Help the A.H.A. by donating thru the web site: Michianaheartwalk.kintera.org/johnwalksamerica. If all goes well I hope to be in St. Louis sometime in September 2010.

April 30th

Limped into Bridgeville, DE. No campgrounds and no hotels in the town. Went to the Police Station, they offered to take us to the next town, but we had too much stuff to transport. JJ was outside and a man stopped, talked to him, offered us a place to stay. We stayed in a house that he was remodeling. That's when I discovered Shelly had a limping problem. So, I made the decision to stay there Saturday, May 1st. On that day Del (the person whose house we stayed at) drove us 15 miles to the Veternarian. The vet was John Dykstra. Del coudn't drive us back 15 miles, so we were stranded, until an employee named Hailey drove us back to Bridgeville.
