Greetings from Burlington... or mile 278 as we call it on "The March." We put up our first 20-mile day yesterday thanks to Dr. Don Bradley, who has joined us to walk for the next week and who sets the bar high for us all.

Me? I did my part and kept up. The old saying is true, my friends: If I can do it, you can do it.

This past week the Million Step March stepped on in to the Winston-Salem and Greensboro areas, and the energy and enthusiasm for the walking campaign caught even us off guard! Our events at Corpening Plaza, companies like BB&T, TIMCO and our appearances the Greensboro Grasshoppers game Saturday night were a blast. People are inspired – which is what this campaign was all about to begin with.

Video from our event stops is on its way this week. In the meantime come down to our halfway point rally on Tuesday in Raleigh. Information is on this Web site, and it should be quite an event.
