The Walk Around The World
The Walk Around The World has begun!

Join us on Sept 7th in Portland OR for the first official walk on The Walk Around The World Tour.
Let's Walk!
Isaac, Taylor and Zac
Starting this fall the walk campaign is going global. We are setting a goal to walk 24,902 miles, the distance around the world. For everyone who joins us for a barefoot mile walk and registers at a show or online at takethewalk.net (starting in August) Hanson will donate one dollar to one of five causes.
Clean water
Shoes
Building schools
Providing access to healthcare
Supporting AIDS research and treatment
Why Five:
To fight AIDS and poverty we have to look at all the issues that surround and contribute to them, from clean water, and education to medical research”
Why a dollar: The hope is that everything we are doing is helping you start on your own walk. The first time you join us on a barefoot one-mile walk, should only be that, the first of many miles you will walk. You may never take off your shoes and parade through the streets again, but that is not the only way we walk; the same thing goes with the dollar we are donating for every registered mile. We have to start, whether it is one dollar, or one hundred.
The perspective on how we make a difference needs to change. We are not going to guilt you into opening your wallet, or try and overwhelm you with the amount of influential people and celebrityies that agree with us. We hope to inspire you to greatness. No group of people have ever had the tools to connect with one another and make a difference like this generation does. Ever!
“Zac: We are asking people to become leaders in the walk campaign. Host your own walk wherever you live, and help us reach our goal of 24,902 miles walked. The distance around the world “
takethewalk.net: takethewalk.net is being built as a tool for people who are willing to take up our challenge to become leaders in the walk campaign. It will let walk hosts register their walk, and also help people who want to join a walk find a local walk host. takethewalk.net is also going to be a place where you can find out more about the causes we are supporting, and allow you to give directly to those causes through one central place; you will also be able to see the progress of the walk around the world as each mile is registered.
“Isaac: When we began the one-mile barefoot walks a year ago we thought we might be the only ones walking, but thousands of amazing people joined us one by one, helping to provide shoes to thousands of kids in Africa. That is what the walk around the world is about, the fact that great things can be achieved with simple decisions to take action”
Join Hanson on a one-mile barefoot walk before their shows on the walk around the world tour this fall.
