Vermont was one of his first stops in the long journey south. Joseph plans to run five days a week with two full rest days to recover. He carries about 30 pounds of lightweight camping gear with him, and with the help of some sponsorships, is able to stay in various hotels and eat in the cities that he passes through. Michael Liu Kai-Tsu Roqueni is still looking for a U.S. sponsor for his aim to give back to educational foundations.
