Mike Redding Hikes for Eye Care

Under the headline "'See Mike Hike': ORBIS Advocate for Sight Mike Redding Treks for the Blind" an ORBIS International press release appears on the EarthTimes.org web site as of 28 June 2007.

Redding has been hiking the Appalachian Trail since 4 April of this year and is, according to the release, at the 1,000 mile mark. He is raising money for ORBIS, which "strives to eliminate avoidable blindness and restore sight in the developing world, where at least 90 percent of the blind and visually impaired reside."

As with most fund-raising hikers, he has a web site for potential donors to use in keeping track of his progress.
