Lesson 1360 – When a walk is more than a walk

I missed my Lyme entry yesterday. The semester has started. I was at the college for most of the day and then went to Concord to see a friend and author.

Since I announced that my son (he’s 23) and I will be walking the length of New Hampshire, we’ve gotten a lot of support. People have been offering beds, hotel points, some people have offered to walk with us for a bit, and we’ve even been offered a meal or two. It’s all appreciated.

Walking New Hampshire – Walk Free or Die

Now that we have a start date I can announce this:

Griffin and I will be walking the length of New Hampshire (from Canada to Massachusetts) this spring. Our start date is (for now) May 14th and we plan to walk apx 20 miles a day (on roads – no hiking). New Hampshire is apx 190 miles long and we’ve set aside 2 weeks to do this (which allows us to cut back a little on mileage if we run into problems.)

We’re not trying to raise money (but are not averse to working with a group) we’re just trying to prove that a mom and her son, who both have pretty severe Lyme related arthritic damage can still get up and walk New Hampshire.
