While passing by a "Sleep In" motel, Eric paused, and very matter-of-factly replied, "Well, don't tell me what to do!"

I then plan to seclude myself and write a book about my experience.

I believe I'll have a real story to tell. I may not sell a great many copies, I don't know. Maybe just a single copy will sit on my shelf. Maybe somewhere someone will pick up a copy, though, and it will prompt others to see a need for cancer research.

This whole campaign is about people, it's about people and how they're affected by cancer, so I do my best on this website walkaboutamerica.com to tell these people's stories, some amazing stories of how they're beating cancer or in some cases how they're suffering from cancer and that's what it's all about.

I met 92-year-old Isabelle Thomas in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. She has fought four different types of cancer and just refuses to give up. She is just one of the dozens of reasons why I'm walking.

Most of these people have asked me to wear their bracelet and think of them along my trip. I can't not think about them. They are my inspiration.

People are motivated by money or love.
