September: Walk Across Wyoming

2017: A Year In Review

Posted

CODY – How dedicated are you to the causes you believe in?  For Terresa Humphries-Wadsworth and Kelly Eckerdt, that answer isn’t likely easily matched.  Because these two women have taken to the roads of Wyoming, literally, to bring awareness to suicide and its prevention.  
But this is no small jaunt – these two are attempting to cover the 400 miles between Cody and Cheyenne between Sept. 1 and Sept. 15.
Terresa and Kelly are from Park Countyand departed the Wyoming Veterans Memorial Park in Cody five days ago and expect to finish at the Cheyenne VA Medical Center.

Both Terresa and Kelly are suicide Prevention advocates and have passion to inspire others.
They have trained for an entire year to be physically ready, getting help from trainer Rinda Eastman.  
If the journey goes as planned, they will be departing Glendo in the morning and arriving in Wheatland late afternoon.  They will be walking along Interstate 25 south.    
A number of Goshen and Platte County people are supporting their efforts, largely through the three local VFW Posts in Torrington, Guernsey and
Wheatland.
