A Chesapeake man is taking action to inspire young men to think bigger, work harder, and plan for their futures.

So he's organizing a walk to raise money for scholarships.

"We want them to be productive citizens, we want them to think about their future, to plan, to dream as big as possible. We want to show them how valuable they are to society."

The Thousand Kings Walk author and philanthropist, Rob Hill Sr. joined Blaine and Laila this morning to talk about his event.

He especially wants to motivate and challenge young men ages 12-17 to live extraordinary lives, to think bigger, work harder, and plan for the future.
