ASHLAND Jacki Elam spent her Saturday walking around Ashland. It wasnât a short, casual walk. She was completing the 50 mile JFK challenge to honor veterans.
âI thought it was a really cool way to honor our military veterans,â said Elam. âThey did so much for us and I work with them every day, just to hear them on the phone, I just thought it was a cool way to honor them.â
Elam works for a company that provides services for veterans and said she wanted to complete the challenge in their honor after seeing her husbandâs friend do it last year.
