E-Journal Editor’s 200-mi Wales Walk to Raise Funds for AGF

American Go E-Journal Managing Editor Chris Garlock and his wife Lisa are walking 200 miles along the coast of Wales this July to celebrate their 32nd wedding anniversary and raise funds for the American Go Foundation, which is dedicated to promoting go in the U.S. With the AGF's support, thousands of American children have learned go in hundreds of schools, libraries and community centers across the country, as well as at the annual Go Camp (AGA Go Camp a Favorite with Kids 5/16 EJ). The AGF also provide scholarships and resources for youth who play go, and supports go in institutional settings such as prisons, and senior centers. Click here to donate what you can: .25/mile = $50; .50/mi = $100; $1/mi = $200; or whatever amount you like, it'll go to help promote go across the United States. "Chris likes sitting still a long time and also walking a long way," says AGF President Terry Benson. "We hope players will encourage him and help go by going as far as they can to help us spread the game." photo: Garlock on a training walk earlier this year; photo by Lisa Garlock
