Sam Rezaei: "I am doing this walk because I want to challenge myself to the absolute limit both mentally and physically. Additionally, I believe that I will be able to escape my urban upbringing and fully immerse myself in rural America."

James Dill: "I couldn't get the thought out of my mind! When Sam and I were first talking about it, I immediately knew it was something I had to do. Walking across America seems like the ultimate challenge: experiencing life far outside of my comfort zone, meeting all kinds of people along the way, and learning more about my country. I'm ready to start walking and surprise myself on my personal limits."
