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.

Sunday May 30th, 2010

I am currently at the Comfort Inn in Scottsburg, IN, waiting for my extraction team to get me home. It is going to be necessary for me to visit with my physician to determine why I have recently developed the shakes and freezing sensations. As well as to determine my condition relative to continuing my walk. Will fill you in when I have found out something. I am looking forward to seeing my wife and family, and of course my friend, Shelly. Have a safe weekend and think about taking a walk.
