89 Days

It is with great sadness that I announce Dave Brown has ended his walk.  After 89 days of walking 14 miles a day, his feet gave out.  I was due to walk with Dave in Kansas the week after next after completing my Iowa event.  It was not meant to be; I received a text from him yesterday.  According to Dave, "I am fine but my feet are telling me loud and clear that it is time to hang up my sneakers."
Dave should be extremely proud of what he accomplished, even if it wasn't exactly what he envisioned.  His campaign has undoubtedly made an impact, not only on the people he connected with one-on-one but through the extensive reaction of the press.  In just 89 days, Dave was able to reach over 20,000 page views on Facebook and was featured in over 30 publications or stations.  I have been at my campaign for five years and barely can claim those stats.  His dedication to the cause is amazing and I am sure the campaign's impact will continue even though the physical part has ended.
