Marshall is more than halfway through the state of Utah! He is doing well and is grateful for all the support he has received so far.
Unfortunately, since Marshall started planning this walk, the U.S. casualty ratehas risen to over 2,700 in Iraq. Actually, today they hit 2,800. So,he will add one day of walking in Utah, and one day of walking and meeting withpeople in Washington D.C. Please check the JoinIn section of the websitefor the RECENT changes to his itinerary. He will walk through St. George andfinish at the Arizona border on November 1st. We really want a big crowdin St. George on the last day. If you can make it, please come! Ifyou can’t be there, you can still be represented with our balloons forpeace campaign.
