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.

Walked the 11 miles left on the towpath into Cumberland MD. A beautiful city of many large church spires. At least it was beautiful until they ran Interstate 68 right through the middle of it with very confusing entrances and exits. Of course it is elevated to obstruct the view of the city. Shutting the walk down for a few days for some much needed rest and maintenance. Will post as soon as it is continued. Thanks to everyone for their support.
