Steve Vaught: Fat Man Walking
July 25th, 2005
By now, you may have heard of Steve Vaught- the Fat Man Walking. Steve is an ordinary, albeit obese 39 year old man who has chosen to take destiny into his own hands- as we all do when we diet, exercise or take steps to improve our health -but in a spectacular way.
Steve Vaught is currently walking from San Diego, CA to New York City. That’s over 3,000 miles. He is doing this not only to shed pounds, but also to shed light on the problem that obeisity has become.
Judging from his “before” photos, he seems to have started off somewhere between the mid 300-low 400 Lbs range. His progress is being contantly updated on his website, www.thefatmanwalking.com. Stop in and wish him well!
Hat tip to BoingBoing.
