(PRWEB) July 1, 2006 -- Brendan Kelly, 33, of Louisville, Kentucky, is
planning a three month, 1800 mile walk from his hometown to Las Vegas,
Nevada where he will play one hand of Blackjack for $250,000. He is
currently selling the 3,250,000 steps that he will take for $1 each on his
website, paymetowalk.com. $1.25 million of the money collected plus any
winnings from the Blackjack hand will be distributed to charities including
Habitat for Humanity and Make a Wish Foundation.
Mr. Kelly got the idea after hearing about a young man who made $1 million selling pixels on his website.
I was having a lot of financial troubles so I needed a way to make some money, said Kelly, but I also wanted to give some away.
He is also filming his experience and hopes to use part of his earnings to
produce a documentary.
