One day an idea came to George Martin, executive, humanitarian and former New York Football Giants star.  Many of those who had rushed to aid in the aftermath of 9-11 are sick with respiratory and other diseases that can cause permanent disability.  Some have even lost their jobs and had no insurance.  Mr. Martin wanted to help.

Mr. Martin will walk from the George Washington Bridge (NY) to the San Diego, CA, stopping along the way to promote various events in support of the mission.

The goal is to raise several million dollars for medical care for Ground Zero workers.  Mr. Martin is looking to raise funds and, in addition, whatever amount he raises, participating Hospitals and Medical Care partners will provide a dollar-for-dollar match in medical services essentially doubling the amount of help care available for The Heroes of Ground Zero.
