For Jarad Schofer, a decent day walking across the country includes lots of road shoulder and the generosity of strangers.
And while he is smiling in all of the Instagram photos of the quirky and beautiful places he s passed through, the effort is hard.
Maybe not as hard as cancer that has touched lives of his friends and acquaintances that drove him on the fundraising journey. The constant walking is physically and emotionally grueling, nonetheless.
