Because of You

   It’s incredible to think what this walk has become. What started as an adventure has turned into a full-fledged career for the two of us—something only made possible by the kindness of you good people.

   This journey started as a leap of faith. After buying all our gear, we left with only about $200 and a belief in the humanity this walk calls to—a back-to-roots trial of perseverance, a test of the heart still alive in society. The world didn’t let us down. It embraced us, lifting us up to unknown goals.

   Over the last three years, we’ve been invited into over 450 strangers’ homes, have spoken publicly on multiple occasions, have been on TV over 20 times, made our way into countless news articles, and have been welcomed by dozens of independent outlets such as radio stations and podcasts. We’ve reached millions of people on Facebook alone, sharing a positive message. And it’s all thanks to you.

   We are merely a vehicle for the kindness of others to shine through. We are only privy to the insights we share because of what the world has met us with. We have only been made to love harder because of the love that was first shared with us.

   We hope we make you proud. It’s because of you that we are made possible. And we hope that with every post, every essay, every video, every somber moment, every vibrant moment, every hardship, every privilege bestowed upon us, every new friend, every conquered obstacle, and each new adventure—we are helping make your life a little brighter, your mind a little sharper, your will more resilient, and your heart more loving.

   Thank you for all you’ve done for us—and through us, for the world.
