Although many of the students interviewed supported this event, others supported the ideas behind it but said they did not think the actual walk is necessary.
"Their [the founders of LibertyWalk's] motives are in the right place, however, making it known to walk 4,913 miles to raise awareness is redundant," said Lisa Tumbarello, junior, Moorpark, Calif.
Tumbarello mentioned alternate methods that can be used to reach the same purpose. She said they can have rallies on college campuses nationwide and hit other media sources like Myspace.com for adolescents and many other adults.
"The fact that this couple is doing something that nobody has ever done before for a topic that is so often forgotten really draws me to their LibertyWalk plan," said Mitchell. "It's about time social issues are brought to light."
Lunsford said the organization is soon becoming a non-profit, charitable organization so that the money raised will go towards organizations that support their projects.
"It is a really powerful idea and I hope it gets the attention it deserves," said Daley.

Thank you for the story! This is the best one we have seen yet. We are in Seattle right now, as we were flown out here to attend a conference and met with the "hands of hope" organizer, that had 6 million participants. (Continued…)
