Nice! I’m sure this is the first of many… what local paper won’t want to write about the barefoot kook running through their town?
Tellman, there was no doubt that you were first page worthy. Keep it going!!
Hey, congratulations Tellman! You remind me of Forrest Gump (not the person, the story
)!
You are a constant source of inspiration to me, Tellman! I really admire all you’ve accomplished! So glad to have met you!

Way to go Tellman! Awesome.
Way to Go Tellman, Vermont is nice Country, we used to go Camping there when my children were young.
All the best for the big run
Excellent Job Tellman. You are inspiring me to get this Marine Corp body back in shape and start running again.

Being on your list(s), only seeing business and words, it was hard to see the real you. I finally got the whole picture. Well done Tellman. You rock!
Would you please tell me what Shabambo is
all about?
My heart runs with you my friend But the roads are exsreamly hot so please be very careful,Drink plenty, and dont forget the sun block. See you my friend at the finished line. Always Alice
Tellman, I’m happy to see you’re getting some local press coverage for this unbelievable run your doing for a worthy cause. You are truly an inspiration!I’ll be with you in “spirit” every step of the way..
Namaste,
CoachCurran
I imagine you are running barefoot to get the attention of all those who hopefully will donate to your cause and it is a brilliant stategy but I just pray that you will not get hurt. You are a very brave young man and I will say YOU GO DARLIN!!!~
RUN TELLMAN RUN!
Good for you. There’s a verse from a Course in Miracles that complements your history of Overcoming Everything. ‘and you look ahead with heaven’s smile upon your lips and heaven’s blessing on your sight. And errors are quickly recognized and quickly given to correction, to be healed,not hidden.’ I think that sounds like you – Keep it up!
What an inspiration you are!!
Heyy..!
Congrats Brutha..
Best of luck with everything an all..
Peace and Blessings..:)
Great work. Perhaps this story will get mainstream press and you will get a chance to share your passions with a larger audience. Greg V.
Tellman, you *ARE* the man. God bless you.
Amazing story buddy. Just about to hit the asphalt myself now.
Good luck.

I drive a big truck and drive that route often. Do you have an itinerary of when you will be in the differant areas? I’ll have my trucker freinds keep an eye out for you. Have a safe run and we’ll see you out there. Congratulations, Run Tellman Run. Be praying for you. Keep the faith.

DUDE! You Rock!
Dear Tellman,
You’ve brought a tear to my eye!
You remind me much of a brother who died too soon and in a close family I can well imagine the pride your Mum and others feel – I feel surrogate pride for you too!.
You’re doing a great job – I’ve been trying to get some extra dollars into your pot as every little helps.
Your training stuff has been really helpful and Richard Branson was a great support to me in a Charity some years back, so it’s nice to be able to return a bit of goodness to you both.
Good luck and when the going gets tough, imagine the warmth of family love & pride cushioning your soles and Run, Tellman, RUUUUN!
love you lots

This is real good KARMA Tellman!
The money you will raise is great, but the number of people you’ll inspire to ‘get off their ass’ and to do something with their lives will be the ‘REAL DEAL KARMA’!
I’m inspired!
following your every step
Erik Valdman
p.s. I still owe you one:)
Hi Tellman,
I am learning all about you from my boyfriend John Curran. Just today we were in Brattleboro and wanted to visit my brother John who has lived there for 14 years, unfortunately we never got together with him.
While we were in Brattleboro we wanted to try and find the tellamansion, however we did not have any luck. Maybe someday we can all get together.We picked up a copy of the Brattleboro reformer while we were there and read the full story on some of your childhood challeneges that you overcame, and were inpressed by what we read.
One more thing, I am amazed that you are doing the run in your bare feet! Good luck.Hopefully we can get together before the race.
You have John Curran’s phone number,so if you want to get together give us a call.
Shabambo right back at you !
Teresa D & John Curran
You are awesome Tellman, keep up the good work of inspiring the rest of us to keep moving forward from wherever we are coming from!! Good thoughts sent your way for your run!!
Fucking brilliant! Go, go Tellman Goooo!
There’s going to be some really happy homeless kids out there!
