Hello Friends! I will be walking 10 miles during the weekend of September 22-24 to raise money for one of my favorite causes - Anthroposphical Prison Outreach (APO) - which offers meditation and personal growth opportunties to incarcerated individuals across the country by providing written materials and pen pals to folks who are interested. APO makes books on spiritual subjects, especially works by Rudolf Steiner, available through a lending library service and pairs incarcerated individuals with volunteers who can share, through correspondance, about their inner journey. I hope that my friends in the Steiner community, as well as my friends in the criminal defense community will help me to help those in need. Please consider donating during this year's Walkathon. Thanks!

ABOUT APO Walkathon 2017

Walk a Mile in My Shoes -- the 5th Annual Anthroposophical Prison Outreach Walkathon (this year cyclists are joining in too!)

September 22-24, 2017

Unlike most walk-a-thons, this event doesn’t have a set course or distance. Participants choose their route wherever they like, for however many miles they choose. Volunteers can walk alone for a couple hours a day, or gather a group of friends and family and make a day of it.

This year we intend to raise $25,000 in support of the work of the APO and the hundreds of prisoners across the country whose lives it touches, with inspiration, encouragement and support.

Please help us reach our goal!

We on the "outside" enjoy the wonderful gift of freedom of movement. The prisoners who participate in APO do not share this freedom. They do, however, share the freedom of movement in their life of soul. Let us accompany and support them on their inner journey by thinking of them as we walk out in the world on their behalf.

APO works to give self-rehabilitation services and hope to incarcerated individuals. We encourage inmates to take responsibility for their lives through teaching exercises, meditative techniques, self help books of a spiritual nature, mentorship and correspondence courses.

Thanks for sponsoring a walker, and helping the Anthroposophical Prison Outreach program to continue its important work of serving prisoners around the country.
