Following the Footprints of Clayton Klein

From Paradise on the shores of Lake Superior (Longfellow's Gitche Gumee)to Hell (MI) and Beyond to Ohio...Fowlerville, Michigan's Clayton Klein celebrated his 90th birthday in 2009 and his 5th annual 420-mile walk for Michigan Hospice & Palliative Care Organization Sept. 4-28.

This year 2013, at 94, he's still walking, still trailblazing, and leading by example to raise awareness of the health benefits of walking.

A Tradition Continues for Fowlerville Walk


A favorite tradition for the past three years has been enjoying the Genesis House club members in Fowlerville enjoying Clayton Klein and being inspired by his walking program. On Wednesday, Genesis House folks piled into the club van to catch up with Clayton outside of town. We found the walkers, coming from Webberville along Grand River here and continued the walk into town to Olden Days restaurant. Note the bright safety green Clayton tee that Lynne McLean is wearing on the far right. Commemorative tees are available from Craig Backus at EmbroidMe of Birmingham at the web link listed on the right of the blog.
Wednesday Clayton wore his blue Walk the Walk tee, a gift  from his United Methodist Church friends, for previous walks. An apt expression, too, as Clayton does walk the walk.
