Time is fast approaching for Granger Smith’s third Boot Walk from Austin to Fort Hood.  On April 7, Granger will start his 100-mile journey, walking along Interstate 35 in combat boots.  He will walk into Fort Hood on April 11.   It’s all about raising awareness and support for the military as part of the Nationwide Boot Campaign.

You can walk too, join our Fort Hood Team lead by Sgt Justin Caple.  Justin  will be on with “Jack and Julia in the Morning”, March 29 to talk about his team’s part of the walk.  The  Fort Hood Team will hook up with Granger Smith at Killeen Mall, on April 11, they will then make the final trek to Fort Hood together.   If you can’t walk, you can still make a donation.  Justin hopes to raise 2 thousand dollars for the Boot Campaign.

With his first two Boot Walks, Granger Smith raised more than $15,000 to support the Boot Campaign’s five initiatives—Jobs, Housing, Wellness, Family Support and Urgent Assistance. For the 3rd Annual Boot Walk, Granger has set a goal of raising $20,000 for the Boot Campaign.  Click here to join The Fort Hood Team and/or make a donation.
