“I know on May 10th the tragedy that happened in Concho County," says Jason Dickens. "I heard about it on May 11th while we were in San Diego. The premise of our walks is each walk you give the people time to recognize (whether it's a mile or 5 or 6 miles) you are carrying everyone who has lost a life and the sacrifices they’ve made or you’re carrying someone specific. So since San Diego I’ve been carrying both the deputies and I’ll carry them all the way to Dallas.”  See more HERE.
