Walking for Charity
Two Americans Stephen and Andersen went on a 190 - day charity walk across the US to raise money for the Purple Heart Fund, a charity providing military veterans（老兵）with financial support and more.
Both at the age of 24, they live in the eastern state of Delaware. Stephen is a US Marines veteran. Andersen recently graduated from college. They have been best friends since childhood. They both like travelling and have a strong desire（愿望）to see the country. So when Stephen proposed（提议）this cross - country journey, Andersen agreed with no hesitation（犹豫）.
On Wednesday evening, March 1, the two men started off from their hometown, heading west against a cold wind with large bags on their backs.
Every day they walked about 40 kilometres. They never knew for sure where they would sleep until it got close to sunset. They mostly slept outdoors, but every now and then they would stay in a hotel to relax for a few hours.
Luckily, many strangers along the way offered them meals, smiles, and a place to sleep at night. A man called Dimitri Olympidis even offered them a ride, but they refused. They said they preferred to walk.
By September 6, they ended their trip on the west coast in San Francisco, the state of California, raising about 300, 000 dollars from lots of nice people and the local businesses.
“The people we've met along the way have been great,” Stephen said at an interview. “We're grateful for even the smallest contributions to our cause. It's people like them that truly make this trip worth it.”
