RANGER Walker walk for Veterans '18

Donation protected
I am now officially retired from the US Army and back at it this year attempting to match last year’s goal and raise $4500 for Veterans as I walk the Camino Portuguese, 238 miles over 12 days, from Porto, Portugal through Santiago de Campostela  to Muxia, Spain, the other end of the world.            Last year in 2017, we raised $4520 for veterans as I walked the French Way, 534 miles over 34 days from St. Jean de Pied de Port, France, through Santiago de Campostela, to Finisterre, Spain. (Link to last year’s walk is below and has all blogs and pictures) This route was made popular by the Movie called, "The Way" starring Martin Sheen. Thank you all for your donations and support! The journey was life changing, and more importantly, we helped many Veterans.       The old saying was all roads in Europe lead to Santiago de Campostela, the Way of St. James.  The Camino Portuguese, the Portuguese Way, is the second most traveled Camino pilgrimage route on the way to the cathedral in Santiago de Campostela where St. James is buried. After walking the most traveled route last year, it is only natural to continue the fund raising with the next route.       This trip will start on Sunday 22 April in Porto, Portugal, walk 8 days to Santiago de Campostela, and then 4 more days to Muxia, Spain ending on 3 May. I am personally funding my entire trip and 100% of donations received will go to Veterans organizations like the Veterans of Foreign Wars, American Legion, and Wounded Warrior Project. I will blog my entire trip on Facebook and this site. Please consider sponsoring the walk at ten cents per mile or $25.00. Anything helps; a $5 or $10 donation is greatly appreciated.       You have a choice what to do with your hard-earned money. Please consider donating to a guy that will complete a grueling approximate 20-mile hike a day for 12 days to raise money for the former protectors of your freedom, the US Veteran. There is no finer cause and YOU can be part of this journey and adventure!      Thank you, Godspeed, and Ride the Ride, Live the Legend.   Chad
