Walking 400 miles in barefeet

Can I ask you to look at this blog, barefeetforburma.blogspot.com then, if you ever see this young man in your area, please don't be afraid to approach him, he welcomes it and if you can, offer him a bit of (vegetarian) food or a bit of fruit. He does not ask for food but if offered he will take it. He will not ask for anything, he just wants to bring this to people's notice.

I met this young man on his travels and his dedication to the cause moved me very much.

    I think this might be better on the Charities Board so I'll move it over there.

    Does anyone live in Gainsborough Lincs. If so this young man could do with an offer of food and moral support during his walk, he is on his way there today and his supply of rice is running out. Please help if you can in any way even just to walk with him for a little while.

    He is a really good bloke, he is now halfway on his journey which started in Edinburgh, now walking from Melton Mowbray to London along the Grand union canal. If anyone sees him, please talk to him or offer him something to eat or even walk a little way with him just to show your support.
