TEXARKANA (KSLA) – Carry the Load, a nationwide non-profit organization, is making its way through the ArkLaTex in route to Dallas.

“It’s not all mattress sales and BBQs. We walk to honor these people who have made the ultimate sacrifice. That’s our number one mission here. I could not ask for a better experience. It’s definitely emotional. Some days you are tired and you are ill, but there has not been single time I thought it was not worth it,” said Cassidy Dillard with Carry the Load.
