Special Thanks To The Officers Along The Way

Along the journey we've been stopped by officers who have gotten calls about someone walking down the road with a car following them. Megan came up with an idea around July 12th, every time we got pulled over we would explain what we are doing and ask for their business cards so we could thank them.

Also, to April on Old Reeves Rd, I would like to give a special shout out to you!!! She stopped to see if we were ok and when we told her what we were doing she asked all kinds of questions and helped with some directions in the area we were headed into. (This is when Officer Rash stopped to check on us, while we where talking to her). While stopped, talking to both April and officer Rash, the officer busted a person for speeding down the road. He yelled "45!" and the car pulled over without hesitation. It was so cool to see law enforcement in action.

Officers Name: Sgt T. Coleman

Thank you to everyone who has stopped to make sure were okay. *This is just a short list of the officers/people we have gotten the names of. There have been countless citizens who have stopped to check on us as well, but we never got their names. A special THANKS to all of you as well.
