10-YEAR-OLD WOULD (AND DOES) WALK 280 MILES TO HELP THE HOMELESS
When Zach Bonner was six, he collected water for the victims of Hurricane Charley. Now 10, he continued his altruistic nature by recently completing a 280 mile-walk from Tamp a to Tallahassee, Fla. to draw attention to the estimated 20,000 to 40,000 kids who are homeless throughout Florida. When interviewed by Mike Vasilinda for WJHG News Channel 7 in Panama City, Fla., Zach said that the walk was "really tiring and exhausting. But whenever [he got] really tired [he] just thought of all the homeless kids that have to live through all the bad weather." Zach, perhaps showing wisdom beyond his years, thinks you can blame a lot of people for being homeless, but you can't blame children. Next on Zach’s altruistic agenda is planning a dinner for 1,000 families affected by Hurricane Katrina.  And next year, he wants to build a house for the homeless. Wouldn't it be great if more kids walked a mile in Zach’s shoes?
