Two New Jersey brothers are raising the bar with a fundraising walk across the country all the way to the Redwood Forest outside of San Francisco. Aiden (28) and Louis (27) Ardine, of Middletown, New Jersey, saw how hard the COVID-driven lockdowns and slow reopening hurt their colleagues in the bar and restaurant industry over the past year and came up with a plan to give something back. They’re calling their adventure “Walking America.”
… The brothers, who are avid distance runners with a fondness for hiking and camping, mapped out a 3,147-mile route that will take them through 11 states on their way across the country. They have friends and family along the way, but they told their hometown paper that they will also rely on strangers they meet on their journey. They estimate they will go about 20 miles per day, which would make the trip about five months long.
Middletown brothers to walk 3,000+ miles for restaurant workers
Two New Jersey brothers are planning to walk from Asbury Park to the Redwood National Forest in California to raise money, and awareness, for the plight of American restaurant workers who’ve been affected by the global pandemic.
The brothers, Aiden and Louis Ardine, both of whom are Rutgers’ graduates, were working as bartenders in Asbury Park when the pandemic hit, according to the Asbury Park Press.
They moved back home, jobless, and started to formulate a plan; both are avid hikers and campers, so they decided to make the cross country trek. They found an organization to partner with, the Restaurant Workers’ Community Foundation, and made their plan to walk the roughly 3,100 miles from the beach in Asbury Park all the way to California, to support the industry that had supported them.
