Star Trek? Awe Struck!!! Star Wars Fan Dressed Up As Storm Trooper Walks 5000 Kilometers Across Australia to Raise Funds for Charity
Jacob French is not your average Star Wars fan. He dressed up as a storm trooper and walked across Australia from Perth to Sydney. He apparently lost 12 kilos in weight and wore out 7 pairs of shoes before completing his nine month journey pushing a little cart. Why was he walking 10hrs a day wearing a stromtrooper costume for 9 months in that stifling heat across flies-infested lands. Is he nuts? No, he did it to raise awareness for the Star Light Foundation. He raised $100,000, $50K more than he set out to raise. This is an awesome video showing him walking in full gear matched to a beautiful John Williams score.
