walk to afghanistan
DESCRIPTION
TRANSCRIPT
1-89 Cavalry
“Steps to our soldiers” Project.
The main objective of our walk is for everyone to work together toward a common goal,
symbolically…”walking” the miles between home and our loved ones!
It is approximately 6,756 miles from Fort Drum, New York to Paktika Province, Afghanistan.
You are encouraged to walk, run, use the elliptical, bike, swim, or hike the literal miles. Each
participant can also earn one mile for every 10 minutes of sustained physical activity (chasing
after your kids on their bikes, walking with your baby in the carrier, for example). This is also
open to family members as well…parents, in-laws, siblings, grandparents, etc., so spread the
word!
Keep track of your total combined family mileage. The twentieth of each month, email Maura
Bernasconi your logged miles. Every FRG meeting we will see how close we are! We can also
meet when the weather is warmer and walk together. If we twenty of us meet, and walk one
mile, that is twenty miles logged!
Let us see how far we can go!
