I talked to the pastor of Smithburg United Methodist Church and told him ehat i am doing and he said that ii could either camp out or possible sleep inside, he will let me know. Also, Emannuel United Methodist Church i could sleep in their basement.
My plan is as follows.
June 19th, 2012 > Smithburg
June 20th, 2012> EUMC, West Union
June 21st, 2012> Salem UMC
June 22nd, 2012> Sycamore Road
June 23rd. 2012> Town House Motor Lodge
I plan on exploring the Rail Trail and also the town of Smithburg.In the near future, i would like to give a talk at Smithburg UMC, and also EUMC of West Union.
In planing for my walk, i am finding that churches so far have been really nice and helpful. They do not really have to take a stranger in and offer them a place to stay over night. I highly apreciate them for doing that. In the future, i am planing on contacting churches and when i do my walk in 2015.
Gary Mitchell's Walk for Cancer Research 
Walk in 2015? You’re already planning another one? Where will you go? Is it going to be even bigger in scale than the one you’re doing now?
And good for you, Gary, for doing all this! That’s just awesome!
In 2015, i will turn 65 years old, also, i will be celebrating my 20th year as a cancer survivor. I am wanting to explore my home state of WV. We have a trail, that runs for 80 miles north to south, the name of it is, The GreenBrier River Trail. On April19th, 2015, when i turn 65, i am wanting to walk and camp on that trail. Of course, it will be for cancer research. This is just in the idea phase. I will will be doing a lot of research and talking with with different people . I hope i can average at least 10 miles per day which will take about 8 days one way. I plan on doing lot more training and rasing money to support my walk. I will keep you posted. Let know what you think.
Well, I think it sounds wonderful!
In 2015, i am working on another walk for cancer research . I am planning on walking a trail that is about 80 miles long. I am in the idea phase for walk. Of course, i will be doing a walk in April 2013 it will be a total of of 70 miles round trip. Everything is comming along nicely for that walk in 2013 I have 4 sponsors that will be sponsoring me. Three will be providing a place for me camp or sleep inside and one will be helping me train for my walk.
Which to me, that means a whole lot.
How wonderful, Gary! Four sponsors! How did you manage that?
Where will you be walking your 70 miles? I think that’s fabulous!
