WALK ACROSS AMERICA

After years of contemplating and months of strict physical discipline, Mark Dudek ’17 began walking across America. He left from Hilton Head, SC on Dec. 6, 2020, walking 25 – 30 miles a day. “With all of the negativity surrounding the country in 2020, I strive to show that, although still flawed, we live in a great country,” Dudek said. Dudek set up a GoFundMe page and received support from across the nation, and met his goal of raising $10,000 to be split between \ the Autism Society of America and Inner-City Youth Opportunities of Cincinnati. The journey took him 127 days to complete. In the process, he was met with hospitality and kindness from strangers. For example, when he was stuck in Texas for the February winter storm, many people brought him food, hand and feet warmers and even a heavier winter coat. Dudek was recently accepted into the University of Cincinnati's physical therapy program and, for the next three years, will be focusing on completing his degree, giving his running shoes a bit of a rest. Although, he and a friend finished a 24-hour walk in May... simply for fun.
