WASHINGTON -- A Georgia man with a history of staging unusual fundraisers is planning to walk a 1,000-mile loop between the White House and the Capitol to encourage people to donate international calling cards to troops overseas.

Cody Anderson, who recently moved from Florida to Mineral Bluff, said he'll walk eight hours a day through July 7. Although he hasn't coordinated it with the White House, he is encouraging people to send cards of any value to the White House with a note saying it's for his walkathon.

In 1979, Anderson pulled a covered wagon across the country for the American Heart Association. He later pedaled a miniature space shuttle 7,000 miles to honor the crew of the Challenger.
