Joe's Walk for Change

This story was published a week ago, but it seemed right to re-post for Father's Day. I recently met with a man, Joe Bell, who is walking across the country. The trip is Joe's way to honor his teenage son Jadin, who committed suicide earlier in the year. Jadin died after dealing with extensive bullying and homophobia and Joe is using his walk as a way to start discussions about suicide prevention, bullying, and homophobia. You can read the whole article and find more photos here and follow Joe's progress on his facebook page here.
