Meet Me Half Way

Have you heard about "Meet Me Half Way"? It is the idea and current mission of Jimmy Wayne, famous country singer and former foster youth. At the beginning of this year he started walking from Nashville TN to Phoenix AZ to raise awareness about homelessness among young people, in particular those in the foster care system. Having been in the foster care system himself, he experienced first hand what it was like to be homeless as a teen. He is walking almost 1700 miles across the country to bring attention to the needs of teenagers in foster youth. This is a pretty powerful act and I wonder what it will inspire you to do? Check out the information on his site called Meet Me Half Way, or check out the Project Meet Me Half Way which also has great information about the project.
