The document summarizes Archish Sridhar's experience participating in the Walk for Hunger 2011 in Boston. It describes starting at Boston Commons with his friend Adarsh and walking 20 miles along the Charles River, passing through checkpoints along the way. Archish faced challenges from his mother doubting he could talk after mile 10 and from feeling like quitting at miles 15-17, but he persevered and completed the entire walk, receiving a certificate at the end.

1. The Walk for Hunger 2011,May 1stPresentation by: Archish Sridhar

2. Its Sunday, I am participating in Walk for Hunger in Boston commons. By the way I am walking with my friend Adarsh. This year since I raised more than $500, I am part of the Heart and Sole group. They gave me a free walk for hunger T-shirt (Thanks to all of you)

3. This is the starting point of the walk. Today 42,000 people walked with us! Sidh and Nikhil (Adarsh’s brother) are especially interested in light key chains we received from Seven News.

4. Mile 1 and 2 we walked through Kenmore square. There my mom said to me and Adarsh“ I bet you couldn’t even talk after mile 10” and I said “ I bet we can!” Along the way there are mile markers. There are 9 check points in total and we get a map with the checkpoints on it. At every check point you get your map stamped.

8. On the way to mile 10 we are half way there!

9. Half Time!

Thank you for all your support and encouragement I could have not completed the walk without it. Thanks to the volunteers at Walk for Hunger for helping us through the walk by cheering us on and providing water at checkpoints.
