This is truly inspirational. Skateboarder Mark Williams is currently skating OVER 8,000 MILES across the country and back to raise money to start a skate shop/pizza place in Maryland, PLUS a portion of the proceeds are going to a friend fighting stage 3 ovarian cancer… amazing.
Mark started his journey in White River Junction, Vermont on March 27th. Over the past month and a half, he has already covered 2,014 miles, and according to his Instagram, he is currently heading from Walnut, Mississippi to Michigan City, Mississippi today, Sat. May 17th, 2014. The full trip will take Mark through 35 states, finishing up in Ocean City, Maryland where he wants to start his skate/pizza shop.
Check out this Times Daily article for more details, feel free to friend Mark on Facebook to follow his travels, and if you wish to support him in this incredible endeavor, click the link below to donate to his cause. And Mark, is you’re reading this, I know Salt Lake is pretty north of your route, but you’ll definitely have a place to crash if you make it to Salt Lake City! Cheers.
