Fowlerville's own Clayton Klein is set to embark Saturday September 6, 2008 on his 4th Annual Walk for Michigan Hospice. That morning the 89-year old Fowlerville, MI resident will begin his 355-mile trek south through the heart of Michigan, between Paradise in the Upper Peninsula and Hell in Livingston County. Klein is expected to reach Hell in the southeastern part of the state three weeks later on Friday September 26. Averaging 20 miles a day, the former businessman, author and adventurer is once again walking to benefit Michigan's Hospice programs. Klein invites the public to walk along with him on his journey- for a short jaunt or for a day- to enjoy the early autumn beauty of Michigan, while walking for Hospice at the same time. For more information about walking with Klein, to help in any way, or about Hospice contributions, e-mail him at clayton@firststep.net. Updates on Clayton Klein and his 2008 Paradise to Hell Walk schedule will also be posted at www.susanparcheta.com
