Steve Coolidge, a young man with a mission, is embarking on the walk of his lifetime, with the first step beginning at Virginia Beach, VA, and his last step ending in the Pacific Ocean in San Diego, CA. The journey of 3,000 miles and about a billion steps fulfills a dream of Mr. Coolidge, and it is also meant to inspire people to take a few extra steps in their lives to contribute to the needs of many victims in Joplin, MO.
Steve is being followed and supported by the Katrina's Angels volunteer network, and Steve, in turn, is encouraging those who wish to make a difference for people in Joplin to do so through Katrina's Angels (http://www.katrinasangels.org). They are a completely volunteer organization with an impressive track record of providing assistance to survivors of natural disaster since Hurricane Katrina years ago. That means 100% of all donations goes directly to victims.
Steve Coolidge will make an emotional stop in Joplin, MO, to see for himself the devastating force of Mother Nature and witness the strength of the human spirit.
Mr. Coolidge is currently on his way to Virginia Beach by bus from his home town of Austin, TX, and is scheduled to arrive on Sunday, May 29. His walk will begin on Monday, May 30.
Many are praying for Steve's safe journey and wish him the strength and courage to overcome the greatest challenge of his young life. People can follow Steve on his Facebook Group, Walking 4 Wishes, or on his blog site (http://www.walking4wishes.com).
