My Dad's Crazy Journey

So, my dad was in the upper 270's many years ago. Through proper diet and exercise he is now in the 150s and preparing to run across the country. I am very proud of him.
He leaves Saturday, Jan 12 from Savannah GA and is running with his supplies (unsupported) to Monterey, California.
Here's where I thought you might can help.
He will need encouragement along the way as well as places to stay as he goes.
He's on facebook and has a blog too.

Please help encourage him, he has encouraged and inspired many people along his life change and I would love a community like this one to embrace him and help him with words.
Many Thanks,
Amy

Brrr... by the time he gets to Utah, I am sure it will be much warmer. He is looking to go 15-20 miles per day.
It's over 2,000 miles from Savannah to Utah. It will be a bit.0 -

Here's the latest article on him.
He was on the Atlanta Journal Constitution Front Page on Christmas Eve, (I believe.)
