Recently, Daniel Crawford, a veteran walking from Minnesota to Texas, passed through Allendale, where he ate at the OldTowne Cafe. He once served in the HMX1 division while Bill Clinton was President, flying him around.
Currently, Daniel is walking to raise funds for 23rd Veteran, which is a support group for veterans. His goal is to reach Austin (TX) by April 8th, where he intends to view a total eclipse of the sun. He plans to mark his 729th day of being sober there.
23rd Veteran is a Minnesota-based support group for veterans which helps veterans with mental health issues. They offer a 14 week program which helps the brain redirect negative triggers from military experiences to new positive memories and emotions.
As of Sunday afternoon, the GoFundMe campaign has raised $31,950 of the $75,000 it is seeking to raise. To donate, visit https://impact.23rdveteran.org/campaign/1-000-miles-of-gratitude/c561316
