PISMO BEACH - A Washington man is walking across America, promoting healthy living.

George Throop has walked his way down the west coast with a message of healthy living.

We caught up with him as he made his way to Pismo Beach along rice canyon road.

Throop started the walk in September, and will make his way across the country to the White House.

While he is promoting healthy living for everyone, there is also a more personal reason Throop is on this journey.

"My mother, Barbara, lost her battle to cancer two days before turning 34 years old. I began this walk from the same street she died on in Vancouver Washington two days before I turned 34 years old," says Throop.

Throop says he hopes that by walking 20 kilometers day, he can inspire people to walk 20 minutes a day.
