Irishman Stephen "Walker" Malone is launching his 26,000 mile / 40,000 kilometer charity hike on April 1, 2006 (I'm told it's no April Fool's joke). The World Wide Walk for AIDS orphans begins from "San Martin", Millicent Road within the village of Clane, Co. Kildare, about 20 miles (32 kilometers) west of Dublin.
The goal is to raise funds for Aids Orphans. The travel plan is roughly: Ireland, the United Kingdom, Spain and France. Then Asia, Oceania, and the Americas.
Of course, there are a few ships involved. For example, the first day's walking will take Stephen "Walker" Malone to the ferry terminal at Dublin Port. Then he takes a ferry from Dublin Port across the Irish Sea to Holyhead in Wales.
