War Memorial Building, Jackson, Mississippi October 1, 2020

On October 1, 2020, we started walking east in Jackson, Mississippi. John, having walked this route before reached out to some of the amazing people he met in 2019 while walking west. With the help of new friends and old friends, our trek across Mississippi was amazing. We had the honor of having U.S. Air Force Veteran Bernadette Meehl join us for 90 plus miles to Meridian. Thank you Bernadette for joining us on our mission. We are also honored to have Willie Myers as our ground support again. We would like to recognize some of people and organizations that supported us while walking.
