Cherokee Sage Woman

Some of you may have heard of the 400 lb guy from San Diego who decided to walk across the US to lose some wt & save his life.. It's been interesting following him via his website
www.thefatmanwalking.com
His wife journals his progress, trials, woes, & accomplishments. Now that he's getting national press coverage, her email acct is overwhelmed. Steve has already lost 50#, & is only as far as Kingman, AZ (where the heat was like 120 yesterday). He's on his way to Flagstaff today, & eventually to Maine.
The guy is a diabetic & is now suffering from a lot of damage to his feet. The desert heat has been brutal, & water sources have been few. In hindsight, they're wishing they'd had like an RV back-up for the guy.. because he's had a lot of close calls w/ dehydration, nutcases on the road, & general depression.
When you have a few minutes, read thru the journal. If you're like me, it'll make you feel downright lazy.
I thought it was sweet, that an Appalachian guy who has the original websire of fatmanwalking.com, put a header up on his site, redirecting you to Steve's site 'thefatmanwalking.com' Way to go!

So next time it takes every last ounce of strength for you to walk to the kitchen for a long cool drink of water, think of Steve trekking across desert & mountain.. & send him some good thoughts!
