Paul Clay-Rooks, according to the article below, "doesn't describe himself as a feminist."
But this incredible man has set out on a 200 mile walk from Lynchburg, Virginia, to Washington D.C., to draw attention to the plight of Women half a world away, in Congo.
"This was a gut response to a really serious problem," Clay-Rooks said, according to the article.
In Congo, an epidemic of rapes is destroying Women's lives.
"Many have been so sadistically attacked from the inside out ... that their reproductive systems are beyond repair," Clay-Rooks said. He hopes through his walk to raise money for a vday.org project called "City of Joy," which will combat the problem.
