I am 50 a year old man with "no pot to piss in" as they say. Things went south here in Wilmington in the last 2 weeks real quick. Not going to go into the details here. The goal I set in May was to move to Denver by October, but no car and well no license kinda made that unrealistic. But yesterday after becoming homeless....again, I decided that I need to go anyway. I have not seen my family in Denver since 2001. Missed my sisters funeral in 2003 and have lived with that guilt for too long. Lost her due to complications from Diabetes. I also have diabetes but am very bad at sticking to the shots.
I have struggled with drugs most of my adult life but I am proud that I have overcome those demons many years ago. I do like the occasional 420 still though. I have been homeless on the streets of Philly and Northen Ma. I got help from many friends during my time in Philly and that love has not moved from my heart.
I got Cancer in 2013 took my left one and probably why I walk in circles now. KICKED its ass though. Year later I finally got my left hip replaced after too many years in pain.
I also have fought with severe depression for all my adult life. Never took meds seriously till a good friend helped me get the right ones. It has taken about a year to find just the right one. It works when I remember to take them. There is such a stigma with mental Illness and there shouldn't be.
So with all that said on my 1800 mile walkabout I will be raising money for 4 charities that I hold close to my heart.
American Diabetes Assoc.
Testicular cancer Society
National Alliance on Mental Illness
Gary Sinise Foundation ( for American Veterans )
I am also using walk for a dog app that gives you money to donate as you walk your dog.!!
Now you're saying he will never make 1800 miles being fat and old and barely moving especially with a fat old dog...Believe me, I am with you. but I have always dreamed of doing something like this. I have driven all over this country but have never done what I am about to do. Yes, this is happening but I need help. Anything that exceeds the $1600 is strictly for the above charities. There will be a gofundme page used for me that a good friend already set up on his own. I will be setting up a follow Red and penny site or app so everyone can follow and I will do daily videos and Facebook entries.
