I Would Walk 500 miles… And I Would Walk 500 more

What makes a fan, a fan? Is it the amount of clothing the fan wears supporting his/her team? Is it a tattooing a logo on his/her neck of the fan’s favorite team?
All are great ways to show ones fanaticism. But the bar has been raised by one Tyler McGill from the New England area.
In a bet with friends, the Boston Celtics fan walked from Boston’s TD Garden to New York City. That’s 218 miles. And oh yea, he had to do it in just seven days!
The prize: courtside seats to Games 3-5 of the NBA Finals between the Celtics and Lakers.
McGill said he walked the equivalent of a marathon AND a 10K per day. That’s roughly 32 miles of walking a day. And he did it.
Not only did he succeed in reaching his goal, but he apparently finished the bet with a day-and-a-half remaining. But most importantly, he reached his destination on Sunday night… Just in time to watch the fourth quarter of Boston’s 103-94 victory over the Lakers.
