WALKATHON to benefit the
“Anthroposophical Prison Outreach”
In recent years my wife, Mary & I have been supporting the Prison Outreach program that endeavors to help inmates overcome their anger and create a belief in their self-worth. This belief in one’s self helps them get a job when released and not become part of the recidivous statistics. Since their founding in 2000 over 5,300 prisoners have taken part in the APO program!
I remember when I first got involved in Anthroposophy over 30 years ago. I was recovering from a prior business failure. I not only lost my business, but our home and my career. I really didn’t know what to do. I was angry and disappointed with what had happened. Then I read the same books and lectures by Rudolph Steiner that APO offers in this program and did the same type of study groups that APO sets out for the prison inmates that want to make a new beginning for themselves. APO provides library books, study material, newsletters, a correspondence course and mentors for people who are incarcerated in prison here in the United States. The library includes over 200 titles of books by Rudolf Steiner and other authors.
The mission and the hope that APO is carrying forth to those incarcerated, is to help them over come their anger and give them belief in themselves. Our goal this year is to raise $35,000. This will support over 1,200 people across the US - individuals who are serving time in prison and have taken up a path of inner development through the work of the APO.
So, I’m asking you now if you, like myself, have been fortunate to find some measure of success and happiness in your life, then it’s time to “pass it forward.” I challenge you to make whatever donation you can to APO. Your gift is a lump sum payment (not per mile contribution). Please give what you are able! Donate by going to the following site:
Executive Search Placements is on the second page of volunteers.
IF YOU DO IT NOW, MY WIFE AND I WILL NOT JUST WALK, THE WEEKEND OF September 19 - 21, 2025, BUT

The teachings of Rudolf Steiner have the ability to transform the way people think, feel and the way they act. Anthroposophical Prison Outreach makes this wisdom available to a poplulation that would not otherwise have access... men and women who are serving time in prison! Our lending library, meditation instruction, correspondence course and twice yearly newsletters support students in their self-development. The courage and determination of our students is inspiring! Plus as you know, when one person changes, it radiates to those around them. Please join in as a walker this year, gather some sponsors and help APO reach our fundraising goal!

Where will this Walk-a-thon be held? It's everywhere! This is a international event with no set course or distance. Walkers, runners, and cyclists can participate whereever they happen to be throughout the weekend. Each volunteer gathers in sponsors and in this way a broad group of individuals sustains APO. Our goal this year is to raise $35,000. This will support over 1,200 people across the US - individuals who are serving time in prison and have taken up a path of inner development through the work of the APO. Thank you for your support, it makes a real difference! Self-control and awareness has taken the place of negativity. It helps the situation so I don't make impulse base decisions that have no substance. Others tell me I'm different and more humble. Arturo, Tabor City, NC Because of studying with APO I've learned to handle myself through difficult and stressful situations. Anthroposophy has yielded me through, and helped me deal with everyday living and preparedness.
