Jarad Schofer, a math teacher at St. Albans School in Northwest, is trying to walk 3,000 miles from coast to coast to raise money for the Cancer Research Institute.
He began his walk on March 14 of this year in Santa Monica, California, and he has made his way so far through Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas with a goal to reach Virginia Beach in about 35 days.
Currently, the 43-year-old teacher is in Oklahoma, was inspired to attempt this feat after recently losing a colleague to pancreatic cancer.
Schofer has received a ton of support from the school he teaches at and even encountered people along the way who have donated to his cause, provided food, and even shelter for a night.
You can follow his progress HERE! And if you can try to donate to the Cancer Research Institute.
