E-Journal Editor's 200-mi UK Walk to Raise Funds for AGF

American Go E-Journal Managing Editor Chris Garlock 3D and his wife Lisa are walking nearly 200 miles across England this May to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary and raise funds for the American Go Foundation, which is dedicated to promoting go in the U.S. "This is a really wonderful idea," said AGF President Terry Benson."It's generous players like Chris that make the AGF work possible. The more support we get, the more we can do for go." With the AGF's support, thousands of American children have learned go in hundreds of schools, libraries and community centers across the country. The AGF also provide scholarships and resources for youth who play go, and supports go in institutional settings such as prisons, and senior centers. "Donate what you can," says Garlock, "whatever you give will go to help promote go across the United States." Click here to donate. Considered the second best walk in the world, the Coast to Coast Walk is a 182-mile unofficial and mostly unsignposted long distance footpath in Northern England. Devised by Alfred Wainwright, it passes through the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales, and North York Moors National Parks.
