One Man’s Walk of Inspiration Across America
Sept. 20, 2009 - June 18, 2010

I was there this morning at 9:00 AM when George Throop, III began his walk of inspiration across America.  He will walk thousands of miles from Vancouver, Washington to Washington, DC.  George was surrounded by his family and friends as he shared his vision to to promote a healthier lifestyle and raise awareness of cancer and other diseases. Mayor Royce Pollard of Vancouver, Washington was also there to wish him well on his travels.  George hopes to inspire you to take positive steps towards personal growth in your lives…  “Walk 20 minutes TODAY!”

George Throop III (with red jacket on right) takes a moment along his walk to tell more of his story.

“Since at least 1 in 3 cancer deaths is preventable, this means that millions of Americans have died of cancer unnecessarily in recent years. Several million have died unnecessarily since my mother’s 1985 death from cancer.

We can take many steps in our daily lives toward preventing the risk of deadly cancers. Amongst these steps, finding time for quality daily exercise is huge. So, my mission is to walk twenty miles daily - across America - in the hopes of inspiring you to WALK 20 MINUTES TODAY!

You’ll be happy when you take steps forward for yourself, and by taking positive steps to prevent cancer, you’ll be rewarded to learn that these very same steps also decrease your risk of other debilitating and deadly diseases. Such exercise strengthens your body, and establishes great momentum into wonderful changes awaiting you as you continue your experience of life here on earth…”
