Thomas/Nozell Family - Merrimack, NH  3/29/06
Just wanted you to know that your Walk New Hampshire program is a tremendous hit in our house. We've split our 6 children into two teams and both teams have just passed the halfway mark for the length of NH. (95 miles to-date)

We have measured out a safe one-mile loop in our neighborhood and when my kids come home from school, the first thing they ask is if they can go for a walk. Now that the weather is getting warmer, they are out everyday adding miles to their team's totals.

Neighbors are starting to notice that our family is walking so much and we've had lots of people ask us about the program.

This morning, the kids and I had a discussion about how much fun this is and what we would do when it was over. The kids came up with the next goal of walking across the United States as a family. With a final distance of 3020 miles, it may take us a few years to get there but the kids said they were
up for it (ages 6 - 14).

As an incentive for the Cross-America walk, my husband and I have decided to put one dollar into a fund for every mile that the kids walk and once they walk across the US, we will take them all to Disney Land.

Thanks for coming up with such a fun and motivating exercise program,
