Getting interviewed outside Pittsburgh, PA.

Tellman Knudson is running cross-country to raise money for homeless youth - only he’s doing it barefooted. Yup. BAREFOOT. He’s doing something right. He got Richard Branson to support him…and the YouTube video is posted on his website.

Tellman started in New York, and he’s bound for Los Angeles, hoping to raise $100,000,000 for homeless youth. He says, “I live by a guiding principle: If you don’t set yourself extremely ambitious goals, nothing great will ever be accomplished.”

Amazing isn’t it? How THIS guy SHOULD be getting all the coverage that the media is devoting to “balloon boy” and a bunch of scammers, then Tellman is trying to do something good. Tells you where the media is - they’re all about the drama of the wrong stuff…sad. Wish this was making NATIONAL news, not just local news. Well, chances are good that balloon boy and his brothers will end up in state custody and eventually become homeless or at least wards of the state…so they’ll benefit from Tellman’s run somewhere down the road.

Tellman left from the southern tip of Manhattan on 9/9/09 at 9 a.m. He’s hoping to reach the Santa Monica pier at the Pacific Ocean in 99 days. I wish him well and hope you’ll at least hit his website to find out if he’s coming to a town near you. Wish him well! He’s definitely an “Asphalt Angel!!” Follow him on Twitter: http://twitter.com/runtellmanrun
