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.
Follow him on his journey... as he continues to leave footprints on the trail and on the hearts of many Michiganders.

Surgeon general's prescription for Americans: Take a walk - TODAY.com
It will be interesting to see how we, as a nation, "step up" to the issue and create plentiful and safe walking areas. smile emoticon
I wish our friend, Clayton Klein, Michigan's 'Walking Man,' might have seen this decree by the Surgeon General.
He'd have liked that very much. (Clayton died in February of this year, just two days short of his 96th birthday).
He cured an ailing back, and avoided surgery, when he began a regular daily walking program, which he kept up
for some 40 plus years. "Sedentary" was not in his vocabulary smile emoticon. He remains an inspiration to all of us, his fans
