That’s why on October 1st 2011, I began Walking Miles 4 Brain Matters. I started walking from Port Washington, NY to Mass General Hospital’s Francis H. Burr Proton Therapy Center where I had been treated. We stopped at schools along the way, where we walked with the kids at those schools in support of the cause; we helped enlighten them about the need for more funding, more medical research and early detection for brain tumors. The parents as well as the people in the towns we stopped at were welcome to walk with us. You can click on the Itinerary of the Walk under The Walk to see where I was on each day, as I walked along the Boston Post Road throughout that month of October. We filmed much of the walk, which will include its preparation, the people we met along the route and their stories-some of these people have had family members who’ve had brain tumors or they’ve had a brain tumor themselves. Much of the time I stayed at people’s houses, so as to save the funds that have been raised.  Some of these people were people I’ve known for over 34 years, some of them were people I’ve never met…again, this was part of the story and we filmed it, and took many photographs.  We filmed up until I arrived at Mass General Hospital in Boston on November 1st of last year.  I also “vlogged” almost every day while I was on the road, if you want to check this out go to My Vlog. I’m done walking now, but the road does not end there, I continue to raise awareness for a very important cause, I have many ideas I’m working on…stay tuned.  Please donate, and help be a shining light. Thank you.
