WAYNE REACHES HALFWAY POINT ON WALK ACROSS AMERICA
Jimmy Wayne is halfway to his goal having walked 93 days and 977 miles. Saturday Jimmy Wayne is arriving in Amarillo, TX. Wayne will celebrate the achievement with a visit to the Hastings Record Store. He will share with the folks at Hastings his reasons behind the walk and his experiences thus far on the trek.
Jimmy Wayne is walking across America on his Meet Me Halfway campaign to raise awareness for homelessness and particularly homeless and family-less children who often fall through the cracks. Without any support system, these children often succumb to homelessness. Wayne’s own childhood had periods where he was homeless.
“It’s been a rewarding and gratifying journey so far,” Wayne said of his walk on behalf of homeless teens. “The people I have met along the back roads of America, as well as those in the bigger cities I have walked though have all been hospitable, and curios about why I’m walking. I’ve been able to talk to them about the difficulties faced by homeless teens and foster kids. Not everyone realizes that once a child in foster care hits the age of 18, they are essentially aged out of the system. And without a family or support group of any kind, many of them end up homeless. Telling the story gives people information they need to get involved and help these kids.”
