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 6th

Walked 5 1/4 miles early this morning. 4 1/4 on trail 1 off. Leaving to cross the Bay bridge in a little while and will walk through Annapolis and to the west a little. Having dinner with Pete and Cathy tonight, they are going to put up with us one more night and then we are back on the trail, all three of us, in earnest, tomorrow. I think I am now over 100 miles.

    Sounds like all the bugs are getting worked out (except for the mosiquito's need to get some Avon skin so soft, it will repel them and doesn't stink. I commend you for yuor travels so far, most people would have given up with the few misfotunes you encountered.... but I know you are not that type of individual. Kudo's to you, keep on keeping on and may god bless and keep you safe.
