Philadelphia Sign Company’s connection to this inspiring story is rooted in the local community. The company’s owner, Bob Mehmet, was deeply moved by Tom’s journey inspired by the loss of two close friends, Ann Marie and Shannon, who were also known to Bob’s children. In honor of their memory, Philadelphia Sign Company committed to donating $1 for every mile walked by Tom and Savannah.

“Hearing Tom’s story was incredibly inspiring, and we felt compelled to support his extraordinary endeavor,” said Bob Mehmet. “We followed his journey closely and were proud to be a part of his homecoming as he walked across the Ben Franklin Bridge. This was more than just a sponsorship; it was a way to honor the lives of Ann Marie and Shannon and to inspire others to pursue their dreams.”

Tom Turcich’s memoir, The World Walk, offers a captivating and heartfelt account of his extraordinary adventure. Through his vivid storytelling and stunning photography, readers will be transported to distant lands, witness the challenges and triumphs of his journey, and gain a deeper appreciation for the diversity and beauty of our planet.

As Tom Turcich shares his inspiring story, Philadelphia Sign Company is proud to have contributed to supporting his remarkable achievement and honoring the memory of Ann Marie and Shannon. They have pre-ordered several copies of the book to give to customers and employees to help share the impact of The World Walk.
