walking 250 miles,  spreading the message of Praying-For-Peace

Washington, DC to New York City Pray-For-Peace Walk

Pentagon 9/11 Memorial to Ground Zero -- Arriving at Ground Zero on Sept. 11th

Washington, DC, August 6, 2011—We can make a difference. Help spread the message of  Praying-For-Peace by joining us along the way.

Picture a world at peace. How would that look to you and what would that mean for our children and grandchildren? Peace in ourselves... Peace in our families and neighborhoods... Peace in our towns and cities... Peace in our country... Peace across our world.

We cannot change the past, but we can change the future.

My name is Al Forte, 68, father of 3 and grandfather of 5, and I’m doing the above Pray-For-Peace Walk. The only purpose for the walk is to spread the message of Praying-For-Peace. 

The Washington to NYC Pray-For-Peace Walk will start on August 8^th at the Pentagon 9/11 Memorial and go to the Washington, DC war memorials (The Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers, World War II, Korean War and Vietnam War Memorials). Walter Reed Army Medical Center will be visited on August 9^th.

The Walk will proceed to Baltimore, Wilmington, Philadelphia, Trenton, and go to Midtown NYC, Yankee Stadium, Citi Field (Mets) and end at Ground Zero on Sept. 11^th. Major League Baseball games will be attended along the way (Orioles - 8/12, Phillies - 8/24, Yankees - 9/7 and Mets - 9/10). 

This is my 3^rd Pray-For-Peace Walk. Previous Pray-for Peace Walks were:

• 2008 New York City to Chicago - 950 miles / 79 days - visiting Ground Zero and Shanksville, PA where Flight 93 crashed on 9/11/01. Went to MLB games along the way.
• 2010 Boston to NYC - 250 miles / 30 days, visiting Ground Zero. The Boston Red Sox and NY Yankees both invited me to be on their fields for batting practice before their games.

More info is available at www.pfpnetwork.org with maps, route and dates of the walk including TV segments and newspaper articles of prior walks.

As a result of the Pray-For-Peace Walks:

• 6 TV segments and over two dozen newspaper articles have been dozen with over 8 million potential viewers/readers
• Thousands of have seen the Pray-For-Peace message along the walks
• Over 5 thousand Pray-For-Peace Cards have been handed out.

The Pentagon to Ground Zero Walk will build on previous walks. You can help. The more of us who join the walk, the more the message will be spread. Walk map, route and dates are on www.pfpnetwork.org. Dates and route maybe adjusted during the walk, call Al Forte cell phone 203-940-3651 for the latest info.
