In just three months we did it!! About 130 people walked 3,175 miles. We walked from the mountains in Northern California to Washington, D.C. We are going to write a letter to the President of the United States telling him of the current struggles the Native Americans are dealing with on the Klamath River, and how the people are fighting for their health and well being in more ways than one.<br /><br />We already have our next goal and that is to walk across Australia. New people are joining our walking program every week. Everyone was really excited to get thier Nike water bottles. We also recieved 25 pedometers from Just Move It. I have been giving pedometers to people who are not actually actively exercising, but want to start. They are a great incentive to get people moving. We have a globe now and plan to continue exercising around the world.</br></br>
