Danny Garcia (activist)

Danny Garcia is a peace activist, and founder of Global Walk, who has been walking around the planet since 1996.[1] His efforts, which he says are divinely inspired, have earned him the nickname "Walking Man."[1] He regularly joins with local charities that promote children's rights and humanitarian causes.[2] In 1998, San Diego mayor Susan Golding named January 25, 1998 "Danny Garcia Day" in his honor.[3]
