Buen Camino for MONI

I am helping to raise funds for the Museum of North Idaho’s efforts to finish the construction and remodel of the JC White House to evolve into a state-of-the-art museum for North Idaho.  At age 73, I will be doing a walking pilgrimage across Northern Spain in September of 2022, from St Jean Pied de Port France to Santiago de Compostela, a distance of 800 Kilometers (500 miles).  I will walk the entire journey on foot carrying my possessions on my back.  100% of the money raised will go to the construction fund for the new museum.  I will be paying my own expenses for the journey.  The mission for the Museum of North Idaho is to preserve and illuminate our past to inspire our future.

The Camino de Santiago is a pilgrimage of body, soul and spirit.  I walked the journey in 2019 and had to leave the Camino because of infected feet.  I was almost half way.  I finally returned in September of 2021 and finished what I had started in 2019.  There is a significant historical context to this journey that has been going on for some 1200 years.  I have found the past to be an inspiring experience in facing the future and deepening my experience.  Coeur d’Alene and North Idaho will benefit significantly in having a state-of-the-art museum so our residents and visitors will have a chance to experience our rich and varied history, and to learn valuable life lessons and be inspired to make a difference.  You can read more about this journey at https://caminoways.com/camino-camino-de-santiago.  You many learn more about our expansion project at https://museumni.org/moving-history-forward-to-our-new-home/.

Please make a pledge per Kilometer.  10 Cents per Kilometer equals $80; a dollar pledge equals $800.  Whatever you can pledge will make a difference.  Considering my first attempt there is no guarantee I will make it all the way, but I fully intend to.  Thank you for your  support of our community.
