Dear Steve,
I just learned of yor walk across America. As you mention on your web site, so did a few other people, and now we’re bombarding your site! I browsed some of your recent journal entries, and I applaud your candor and frankness. You may not have anticipated when you started out that all of the personal details of your life would be “public access,” but I am certain that your willingness to be so open is helping countless people.
My husband recently began a similar project on a smaller scale. He is walking around the San Francisco Bay on the Bay Trail with our toddler on his back. She’s been a much better sport about it than I ever expected. He is not trying to lose weight, but has set a few personal goals for himself that he hopes to accomplish this year. Other items on the list include climbing Mount Shasta and Mount Whitney, bike riding around the Bay in a day, and swimming from Alcatraz Island to San Francisco.
The article I saw about your walk mentioned that you have been having trouble finding healthy food along the way. I hope the publicity about your adventure helps raise awareness about Americans’ poor eating habits. We’ve got to create the demand for availability of better food.
Good luck on this journey and beyond!
Truly,
Liz Mann
