Day Three

I would never think that walking 28 miles would be so hard, but I soon realized that it is much harder then it sounds.

Volusia County Councilman, Andy Kelly wanted to walk today. He walked just about all of the journey today, Which was really harsh. Cars driving stirred up rocks off the road and launched them towards us, rain and lighting ran across the sky. I made it to the Star Center in Daytona Beach, Florida. Pain was something i expected, but not as bad as it was. I now know that I need to drink more water, because dehydration is a hard thing to deal with.


The Star Center here needs some supplies such as:

Diapers
Baby Wipes
Laundry Soap

I will update this as I find out exactly what they need.

I will have to walk 53.1 miles in the next two days to St. Augustine.

    David,
    I live at the Star center with my 3 kids and my husband. We are very proud of you because you are a child your self and you see past the things most peolpe don't. You are what people call a gift from god to help people here on earth get past the selfishness this world has grow to have to deal with in everyday life. Thank You! The one thing all the people in the shelter need the most is JOBS.With jobs we can all get back on our feet! If you can spred the word to people you meet that we all could use a job we would be very happy! God be with you and never for get your self in your journey.
