Walking To New Orleans Panama City Beach, FL to New Orleans, LA January 31, 2010 to February 15, 2010

This Georgia Boy, Paul Leslie, the host of TAIT Radio, has walked over 300 miles from Panama City Beach, Florida to New Orleans, Louisiana...but why?

Was he looking for adventure? Was it because of Mardi Gras? Maybe it was Fats Domino's fault... Well, it was all of those things, but the IMPORTANT reason is to help the people of the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans who STILL need our assistance in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

The Make It Right Foundation is working to rebuild the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans by building a neighborhood of safe and healthy homes. The goal is to bring at least 150 families back to the Lower Ninth Ward by providing them with affordable homes that are true to the culture of the community.

Paul walked over 300 miles and is asking you to pledge any amount, (no amount is too small) to the walk. On April 30, 2010, at the performance of Coral Reefer, Nadirah Shakoor, he will present a check for all of the money raised to the Make It Right Foundation. Every dime will go to the Foundation; donations were not used for meals or lodging. Paul is not affiliated with the Make It Right Foundation, but invites you to find out more about whom he is raising the money for by visiting Make It Right

Donations will be accepted through April 29, 2010. NO AMOUNT IS TOO BIG OR TOO SMALL. Help Paul reach his goal of $10,000!

You can donate with a credit card using PayPal or you can send a check or money order made payable to "Walking to New Orleans."

• Where can I learn more about Paul?

• This website seems very basic. Why did you make such a plain page?
  We did that to emphasize that every dime of donations will go to Hurricane Katrina relief. No money is being used to pay an expensive professional web designer.
  
  
• How are you paying for the website hosting and domain name?

• I would like to donate, but times are tough right now. What can I do?
  No donation is too small! Even a $5 donation will be very much appreciated by Paul and by a New Orleans family. If everyone chips in with even a small donation, this will go a long way toward rebuilding a home!
  
  
• What's next?
  Paul is writing a book about this life-changing experience, and has spoken with countless newspapers, magazines, radio and television shows, as well as college classes.
