Meet the ‘Real Forrest Gump’
Robert Sweetgall, the first person to have walked 11,208 miles through all 50 states in one year, will be visiting St. Cloud on Thursday, May 16, 2013 to speak on the subjects he knows best – walking, physical activity and the motivation to move. He will reach out to citizens of all ages and walks of life with a simple message about two-legged medicine: how your own two feet can be your heart’s and body’s best friends, and why you don’t have to do marathons or extreme fitness sports to stay healthy.
