Walk to get kids legs to stand on
By Doug Robinson
Steve Wahlquist is going for a walk, and he wants you to know about it.
This hardly sounds newsworthy until you get the details. On Sept. 10, at 7 a.m., he will set out from Primary Children's Hospital, at the north end of Salt Lake City and walk to St. George, some 365 miles down the road.
He will walk 10 miles a day for about seven weeks. He will begin walking in September and finish in November.
Assuming he covers a mile in 2,640 steps — the human average — Wahlquist will take about 963,600 steps en route to St. George. But then he's hardly average.
Did I mention that Wahlquist is going to walk nearly 400 miles on one leg — the only leg he owns — and two crutches?
