The walk/pedal to speak out in favor of universal health care will require a lot of preparation. I’ve left a message with a friend who works for the Lee County Sheriff’s department to ask about gaining permission. There may be some obstacles. The activity of walking or hand-cycling to raise awareness on our roads could be considered unsafe. Walking or cycling on most streets is legal but I'll need a car to follow closely behind me to ensure some level of safety. How would that be addressed by the local sheriff’s department? I think I’ll have the answer to that soon.
The other tasks I need to complete before setting out are being sure I’m Mister Know-It-All on universal health care, getting in the proper physical shape, and getting a lot of practice using a hand-cycle. I’ve been spending a lot of time learning all I can about universal health care; that’s ongoing. I haven’t started the getting in shape part yet but I'm on a diet. I’ve lost a few pounds so far. I need to start the process of getting in shape. I think I can kill two birds with one stone here. I can use the hand-cycle to get in shape and I’ll be well practiced by the time I’m ready to go.
While I’ve been waiting for the call from my friend, I’ve been thinking about what to call this walk/pedal. It’s not a protest or a walkathon. It’s not a march or a demonstration. So what is it? My goal is to raise awareness of the need and viability of universal health care. So what I need is a name for what I’m doing and I can’t call it a walk-a-pedal. If you’ve got an idea, write a comment here. Also, I need a team to help me plan and get this underway. I know I haven't come close to listing all the tasks that need to be accomplished before I hit the road. If you would like to be part of the team, let me know. There’s a lot to do so let's go.
