My former brother-in-law whose cross-country walks are supposed to raise funds for Fisher House is still at it and made it from San Diego to Carlsbad New Mexico.
His Walk for Warriors blog is at http://walkforwarriors.blogspot.com/
His Fisher House fundraising page is at http://www.active.com/...
When I diaried about him on April 25 Walking for Fisher House - Day 24 out of 110, my poll got 10 votes, my diary got 5 comments and 6 recommends. Now who ever heard of a diary getting more recommends than comments? If you will check it out you will see that people here who know about Fisher House think very highly of it. Fisher House provides residential support for injured troops and their families in times of need and is supported as a public/private charity.
Today on Day 41 John encountered more dust storms and needed to use the goggles and face mask he recently purchased (it's all in the blog's last few days). He is no physical superman and drives a little, walks a lot because he is doing this by himself. Frankly, since people here seemed to know about Fisher House I'm hoping they will start following his blog. Some days the comments on his blog are just his sister and me even though many other people have commented and his fundraising total is above $16,000 he has raised so far. He has a long way to go and a lot of walking ahead of him. Hopefully he'll get many more donations.
If you decide to follow his blog, please tick off the poll choice.
