After 174 days and nearly 3,000 miles, Ranger Kielak will stride into Los Angeles on August 31. This marks the final milestone in his coast-to-coast walk across America. What started as a dream to connect with communities and support meaningful causes has blossomed into an inspiring journey that resonates with people across the nation.
Ranger’s Walk Across America is more than a physical challenge. It’s a mission to raise $100,000 for three charities close to his heart. The National FFA Organization, Bigger than the Trail, and The Hospice Promise Foundation are the causes he’s raising funds for. These organizations represent youth empowerment, mental health awareness, and end-of-life care. These are all causes that have deeply influenced Ranger’s life.
Ranger has also been able to document conversations he has had with entrepreneurs and nonprofit leader along his route in his podcast, The Within Range Coaching Podcast.
Since setting off from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina Ranger has walked through ten states, enduring extreme weather, challenging terrains, and days of solitude. Despite these hurdles, his spirit remains unbroken. As he prepares to reach the bustling streets of Los Angeles, Ranger reflects on the incredible experiences and the generous support he’s received along the way.
“Los Angeles is not just the final stop on my journey. It’s a symbol of the resilience and kindness that I’ve encountered throughout this walk.“ says Ranger. “From small towns to big cities, people have opened their hearts and homes, and it’s been an honor to share their stories.”
