Cops Crushing Cancer

I had this picture in my files and wondered what would come up if I typed the words 'walk across Texas' into Google. What I found were variations of this current event being covered by different Texas newspapers every day.

Two former Tyler, Texas police officers are “Cops Crushing Cancer.”  They have embarked on a 857-mile, 42-day walk across Texas to raise money for cancer patients.

Allan Crosby and his sister Audrey Crosby Spies are walking in memory of their sister, Jacqueline Crosby Mazzola, a retired Dallas police officer, who died in 2010 of colon cancer. They asked people to sponsor them a penny a mile because Jacqueline told them she would drop pennies from heaven.

They began their journey on April 1^st at the Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas state line near Atlanta, Texas and will walk to El Paso. At a pace of 25-miles per day, they should reach their destination on May 12, 2011.
