Another Wild Idea

I'm turning thirty in September and so I was having a premature mid-life crisis while I was in line for the drive-in window at Checkers/Rally's. I have to do something big for my thirtieth birthday. I guess I feel like I have to prove something.

So I've been thinking about marathons, cross country trips, etc. Today I thought about the Appalachian trail. And, of course, I started wondering how I could turn that into a fundraiser for Ayuda. But I don't really even know where the App. Trail goes and I can't see how that journey connects to Hunting Park.

So then I started thinking about something like this: What if I just walked around the neighborhood for a month wearing a pedometer and got people to pledge a certain amount per step? I would set a certain boundary and just stay within that area, walking, getting to know the place better, and raising money with each step. I'm just kind of playing with this idea. Re-tooling the concept of walkathon/cross-country fundraisers. Let me know what you think. I gotta do something!
