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.

Jay in the wonderful bar and restaurant he and his wife put inside the old Warsaw Brewery building in Warsaw, IL
The old Warsaw Brewery where they brewed Burgermeister Beer, Warsaw, IL Here I met Pam and Jay who took very good care of me and plied me with Stella and Roast Beef.

The long and narrow road in Western IL. Nice and flat. Which later on I found to be nonexistent.
