If he walks 10 hrs/day should take almost 100 days to make it.

Quick google avg says 17-20 min per mile.

About 108 days walking 10 hrs per day @ 3mph.

Gotcha but the man is going to talk at schools and churches etc.

That is the object of all this.

Doesnt that sort of cut everything in half.

It looks to me that he could be giving up 3/4 of a year of his life for this adventure.

Big commitment.
