On February 2, 2019, Thomas Curran will begin an 8+ month journey across the country–starting in Holden Beach, NC–to support the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation.<\/p>\n

To most of us, the thought of walking all day… for days… weeks… MONTHS of our life, sounds like torture. Surely, no one would volunteer for such an act.<\/p>\n

But Thomas is a brave soul, looking for adventure. To him, this is a soul-searching rite of passage that he needs at this stage in his life.<\/p>\n

His journey is part personal challenge, part fund raiser, and a complete act of courage.<\/p>\n

If you’re as inspired by his story as I am, you can help out by donating<\/a> (gogetfunding.com), sending him words of encouragement<\/a> (facebook), or even providing a place to stay<\/a> (email). Thomas says even being able to pitch a tent in your back yard would be incredibly helpful.<\/p>\n
