My husband is in the Army and currently deployed. There are SEVERAL groups of us who are "walking to afghanistan." Its close to 8000 miles from where I am located. Would anyone be interested in joining my group? Logging your miles and turning them in each month?

Its just a small way to support our soldiers overseas. Thanks guys!

Last month I walked: 108mi
Current month so far: 81mi

    Thanks to your husband and your family for the sacrifices you are making for our freedom. My son was a marine and did two tours in Afghanistan. I will keep him in my prayers. I will start logging my miles and send them to you.

    Thank you to your husband. My son is a marine in Afghanistan. We're hoping he will be home soon. (It's his 3rd deployment.) Good luck with your project!

    would be interested in joining is as well..We are military. I am so grateful that my husband is not over there, but I have the utmost respect for those who are, and will support those men and women in any way I can. Because one day it could be mine over there, and hell these people are the ones who are keeping our country safe and free!

    Let me know how to join your group!
