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.

May 24th

I walked a short 8 miles to Friendship Indiana. Hot Hot and hills hills. Oh my! I was anticipating a meal there, the tavern and restaurant was closed. a lady told me that the grocery store served sandwiches, so I went there. Marietta the lady working there bought my lunch. I ask about a place to stay and she made some calls. I was able to get a cabin which was a converted storage shed made into a bedroom. It was adequate and the owner said he would donate the cost. The next morning I left for Canaan In. A walk of 14 miles. Richard had found me a B & B in Canaan.
