- Description: In January 2010, Daniel Chapin, a youth advocate and activist from Orange County, California, embarked on a walk from California to Tennessee and then to Washington D.C., with a brief rest in Nashville, Tennessee. This journey was organized to promote community solidarity and raise awareness of the importance of faith-based youth programs across the nation.

Throughout his journey across America's heartland, Chapin was hosted at various venues that shared his vision of inter-community solidarity, such as the Roadrunner Hostel in Tucson, Arizona, and spoke at churches, city halls, and similar places.
