Have you ever felt passionate enough about something that you were willing to step outside of your comfort zone to make an impact on the subject?
Here is a story about a man who has been affected by the condition, cerebral palsy and wanted to raise funds and awareness for the United Cerebral Palsy of Michigan. You can also choose to support their efforts here: http://www.ucp.org/ucp_local.cfm/87. He is making his impact in an unusual and intriguing way.
His name is Neil Sauter and he has a mild form of the condition. The way that he has chosen to raise awareness, is to walk a total of 830 miles ON STILTS over the next six weeks across Michigan. He started on May 5th and hopes to end the walk up by the Wisconsin/UP border. He has already raised approximately $5,300.00. He is making a passionate impact on this issue.
You can make a passionate impact on any area of your life that you choose. Update: Neil has completed his long journey on stilts…what an accomplishment. Good job! He was able to raise more tha 64,000 dollars by a matching grant program through the US Department of Education. You can read more about this at: www.stiltstory.org.
