Man Hikes to Save Lives by Victoria Valdez

Shane Stephens has hiked 222 miles to bring awareness to veteran suicide.  He is a Marine veteran and says that 22 veterans and active duty members take their own life every day.  He started on November 20 and ended his journey on December 9 and hopes that people are more aware of this problem.

It is so very sad that the people who take care of us and make our world safer turn to suicide.  But I am glad that Mr. Stephens is bringing some attention to this so maybe we can help those that are suffering.

  1. Attention really does need to be brought more frequently to obviously large issues such as suicide.
