Some of you may remember my columns about Harry Kiernan, the Glastonbury man who has made a career of organ donation — his own. He’s donated one of his kidneys to a Cromwell woman. He gave a portion of his liver to an infant two years ago. Now he’s decided to start walking to bring more attention to organ donation.

Kiernan will start Sunday, March 18 from Glastonbury and head to Hartford and then New Haven. His route will take him to New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Pittsburgh, Columbus, Cincinnati, Louisville and St. Louis. His walk will also take him to Kansas City, Topeka, Denver, and Las Vegas, ending at the UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, CA, the first week of July, 2012.

If you want to support him, or just learn more about organ donation, check out his website.
