34 days to OldGuyWalk (OGW) - Wonderful week to report

I have really enjoyed these past few days.  Because of all you wonderful generous folks my dream of raising both money and awareness for Lung Cancer research & the need for early detection is coming true.

With your help we have raised nearly $2000 already!!! 

The goal of raising $5000 is still within reach but not without more assistance - Please spread the word to those who you think would be willing to support the effort- ask them to join the OldGuy team today!!

First I had great success distributing T-shirts. After getting 52 shirts shipped into me only 10 days ago I only have 8 left. To say that it was unexpected would be an understatement but what a pleasant surprise. I may still reorder more but before I do I ask anyone following my Blog or Facebook to help me out!  Just send me an email to oldguywalk@gmail.com and let me know you want to get a OldGuy shirt and let me know your size and color choice and I can place a 2nd order by weeks end. It  should only take about 2 weeks to get them, so you can still show your support against lung cancer and for my walking challenge before I start it on June 9th. All I ask is a $15 gift be made to the event for each shirt requested. 

Also it's time to firm up all supporter's who are willing to join me in walking or biking any part of the route. In preparation I am traveling my entire trail tomorrow, in fact I hope to have the final OGW map in a readable file posted to the blog by next week’s update.

We have also updated the LUNGevity link if you prefer sending a gift through the online link  Make a donation today! www.lungevity.org/oldguywalk  Note: if you have already sent in your gift via the old link it will not show up right away, they are still figuring out how to move it to the new tracking thermometer on this new updated site.

Last but certainly not least I had a exciting 6 plus minutes of fame this week and the honor to be interviewed on WTMJ's channel 4's own "The Morning Blend" by Molly & Tiffany!!! Please check out this link and view my appearance on the show and let me know how I did.

Keep in mind that this has been about 15 month process for me and I am eager to finally test out my new leg muscles as I embark on the OldGuy challenge.  I ask everyone to pray for good weather and god willing we should be celebrating at the Lazy Dog bar'n'grill on Saturday June 16th!!!
