Country music star Jimmy Wayne can finally go home and rest. His seven-month journey, which spanned 1,700 miles ended on Sunday at HomeBase Youth Services in Phoenix.
“Wayne started the ‘Meet Me Halfway’ campaign Jan. 1 in Nashville with the goal of walking halfway across the country for at-risk youth, specifically for those in danger of aging out of the foster care system with no support or resources.” [Source: Associated Press]
Wayne was sporting a walking cast as he made his way into Phoenix, haven broken his foot earlier in his trek. The issue of youth homelessness is personal to Wayne, who grew up in the foster care system and endured a time of homeless himself.
