Please have a look at Tom's web page (also to be found on the links on the side bar on the right) to see just how far Tom has got on his mammoth walk to the Eternal City! He's already got as far as Orleans, and overcome non-existent campsites, the weather, and blisters.
In fact, I've developed blisters and trench foot just thinking about it.
Please pray for him (and his family) while he's on this tremendous pilgrimage.
