Walk Across Florida Seventeen cities in five days. That’s the mission of Ocala singer and musician SHANE WOOTEN and his bandmate NIC WARD. Yes, it’s a bit of a Forest Gump-inspired adventure, but in addition to getting out and playing gigs, the 150-mile walk will raise money for the Ronald McDonald House in Orlando. Between January 28 and February 1, the duo will walk from Daytona to Clearwater, with stops and shows in DeLand, Pine Lakes, Eustis, Tavares, Leesburg, Okahumpka, Center Hill, Bushnell, Webster, Ridge Manor, Lacoochee, Dade City, Land O Lakes, Lutz and Tampa as well.
