WALK IT OFF FOR CHARITY

Posted: 5/23/2014

The following is an interview with Devon Kungas, who in the summer of 2014 will be walking across America to raise money for bullying prevention.

Your walk is titled “walk it off for charity.” What is the inspiration for the name?
The title is based on an old saying: "walk it off." When I was a child and I got hurt, I heard people say "just walk it off." I thought it was a fun, little play on words to show what I am doing and what I am doing it for.

What is the goal for your walk?
My main goal is enjoy the open road. Be free. To find and see things I have never seen before. If I can make money for PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center, then I’ll be even happier.

What motivated you to make the decision to do this?
I got tired of living a boring life as a dishwasher and not feeling fulfilled. I have always wanted to go on this kind of adventure and thought now was the best time to do it.

How would you define success?
Success to me is the feeling you get at the end of the day knowing you did something good.
