Join me in a 3,000 km walk of gratitude across Japan.
I will walk alone from Cape Sata to Cape Soya.
But none of us succeeds in life alone. Sometimes, someone sees our potential before we do and inspires us to discover what is possible.
For me, that person is my wife (KM 1).
For you, it may be a parent, friend, teacher or boss.
Help me celebrate the people who believed in us.
Dedicate one kilometre to them.
I will walk it in their honour.
