Russell Larkins, a North Carolina man who founded a nonprofit that helps struggling veterans, is running across America for Veteran Suicide Awareness. Larkins appeared Wednesday afternoon on KOAL’s Drive Time Sports to talk about his journey.

His trek began on April 27 in North Carolina and will continue until he reaches San Francisco, Calif. In all the journey will be over 2,000 miles.

Larkins, a veteran himself, started a nonprofit called Veterans for Good Inc. The goal is to raise awareness and funds for veterans with PTSD.
