My Father-in-law and brother-in-law are raising money for the American Diabetes Association. This past Saturday they embarked on a 26 mile walk to advertise their cause.
In April of 2009 they will be walking from Sacramento CA to Salt Lake City, UT for this purpose.
Here's a great photo of the beginning of that long trek in the early morning hours last Saturday.

Here's a small quote from Dad's report to us
"The numbers showed we had walked at a 3.2 mph speed the entire way (averaged out) and that we had walked the 26.5 miles in less than nine hours. We felt real good about that. That probably won’t mean much to runners, but it means a whole bunch to me – as I am only a few months removed from my 60th birthday."
