Hiding an average of 50 to SO miles a day, he started at Disneyworld in Orlando, Eta., on May 16 and expects to finish at Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif., on Aug. 27. Chasteen's mission is two-fold. He is accepting pledges from sponsors to raise money for the Multiple Sclerosis Society and for the Human F am ily Reunion, an activity he organized and wants others to know about The Human Fam ily Reunion is a program that has been endorsed by many churches, he said, because it promotes love and understanding bet ween all people regardless of race or religion An instructor at W illiam Jewell College in Liberty, Mo., Chasteen also wants to provide in spiration to people he meets along the way. I hope to inspire people, all people, not just those with m ultiple sclerosis, to find peace and a purpose in life ," he said.

I've always had a place to stay and everything I need has been donated," he said. Most of the people with m ultiple sclerosis are leading a good life despite their problems They have encouraged m e."
