THE LONGEST WALK 3 (Reversing Diabetes) Feb 14 - July 8, 2011
In less than 6 months we will embark on another historic journey -- an event so great and much needed for all of America! This is a 5,000+ mile Walk Across America to bring awareness of the devastating effects of diabetes and how it can be reversed by changing our entire diet and lifestyle! This disease is at epidemic levels across America, and throughout Indian Country.

We will hold community talks along the way about reversing diabetes, and heart disease. We will be advocating for major changes in our eating habits, while promoting beneficial exercise programs. Our goal will be to REVERSE DIABETES AND RAISE THE CONSCIOUS OF AMERICA THAT WE MUST HALT THE WORST DIET IN THE WORLD! Along both routes we will be launching a CLEAN UP MOTHER EARTH campaign, picking up trash along both routes!  We will be leaving La Jolla (San Diego County), California on February 14, 2011 (Valentine's Day - Heart Day) following a pipe ceremony, and other events, and entering Washington DC on July 8th, 2011.

STATE COORDINATORS ARE NEEDED IN THESE STATES. If you or someone you know is willing to make a commitment of this type, please contact our National Coordinator, Goodz Cloud (also on Facebook) or myself. Please let us know as soon as possible since we have less than 6 months left.
There will be a Mid-walk break from May 11 - 17th, while we're in Louisiana for the walkers to travel back home, or help the communities in that state.
We also welcome a Link run coming in from Rapid City, South Dakota, meeting us in Oklahoma. For more info on this, please contact Tokala Banks.
Each day the walkers will walk a total of 15 - 25 miles, and the runners will run between 50 - 100 miles. This event has a ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY on DRUGS/ALCOHOL -- this will be your only warning.

We are currently in need of local event planners, volunteers, supporters, and musicians willing to play benefit concerts along the route. If you are interested in making a commitment of this type, or know of anyone, please contact us via email or phone. We will then put you in contact with one of our State Coordinators in your area. We have only 6 months before the start of this historic event. Our route is taking us along much of the southern coastline. We have and will address any needs while the walk is in your state, with adequate notice. So please let us know as-soon-as-possible.
