Welcome to my page! My name is Eli Lopez, and "One Man Walk 2009" was my personal journey to help the abandoned children of the world.

On September 7, 2009, I embarked in one of the biggest challenges of my life. I started walking from Boston, MA towards San Francisco, CA in an effort to raise money for the charity organizations Save the Children and StandUp for Kids dedicated to helping homeless/street kids and children in need. To know more about these great charity organizations, please click on the names highlighted above. You will be redirected to their respective websites.

With over 400 miles already completed, walk has been cancelled due to a family emergency. I am unfortunately unable to finish my walk this year. Thank you to those of you that supported me along the way.
