Man walking around the entire World

Please spread the word on www.world-wide-walk.com This former Catholic Priest is giving five years of his life to make the epic walking journey around the entire world. His goal is to raise funds for AIDS Orphans. If you do not donate, great, but, at least spread the word. Departure is from his home in Ireland on 1 April 2006. No it is not an April fools joke!

So get involved and walk with him at least just in the part of the world of where ever you are. IT'S FREE

If I would have done it 10 years ago, maybe I would not be overweight now.

I'll plug him on a few places, I like the "former catholic" part of the story.

If you started 10 years ago you would probably still be walking.
My parents have always talked about driving around the world, there is one problem they havent managed to think around. There are a lot of places classed as problem areas, I dont see how you can get the whole way around the world without being shot, stabbed, raped, blown up or something really really bad happening to you.

Great idea but they are so wrapped up in making money, that the companies do not have time to respond. Approached Nike and Timberland.... still no word. Any leads?

Any help, pointers or plugs would be appreciated.

It is starting to take off. Traffic from you is substantial and then there is also a lot from Neowin.net and a few others htorugh which I am getitng some help. If they would each leave a $1 it would be great. Then again this is a 5 year project, so things will grow and better that happen slowly.

Got hold of that gentleman doing the FatManWalking.com and maybe he will join Stepen in his travel around the world. Would be great!

Thanks for the help and I linked your logo to our site. Hope that is OK! Keep spreading the word!

Glad to hear you're getting some traffic. And linking to me is great - though I didn't know I had anything that qualified as a logo...
