$300k Raised in 3 Days for Man who Walks 21 Miles to Work

James-Robertson*The goodness of the public is coming through loud in clear as the James Robertson fund at GoFundMe.org closes in on $300,000.

According to inquisitr.com, donations have been pouring in since Robertson’s story of walking 21 miles to and from work for the last 10 years without any complaints surfaced. Evan Leedy, a student who was motivated to help Robertson after hearing his story, created the fund.

Three days after it’s creation, the fund has attracted a wealth of financial support as well as some folks calling Robertson the “Super Commuter.” Among his supporters are James Robertson fund co-founder and UBS Vice President of Wealth Management Blake Pollock.
