Former Army specialist Troy Yocum has decided to take steps to help his fellow veterans by walking a loop around the country, in hopes to raising $5 million.
Non-profit groups dedicated to helping veterans are unable to help everyone due to overwhelming amounts of requests. So Yocum is going to lend a hand.
His goal is to walk 7,000 miles in his 16-month journey. As of Nov 18th, he had raised more than $105,000 and walked 3,527 miles bringing him to Palm Desert, Calif.
Yocun still has a long way to go, both with money and in miles, but he is still staying strong, doing what he believes is right.
I really respect him for his incredible act of strength and kindness. And I know they are many others out there willing to make a difference.
I encourage you to find a cause you can get excited about and do something amazing.

Make a difference,
Doctor Freedom
