Jimmy Wayne Closes In On Last 100 Miles Of 'Meet Me Halfway' Walk

Jimmy Wayne

VALORY MUSIC CO. artist JIMMY WAYNE is closing in on the last 100 miles of his MEET ME HALFWAY walk to PHOENIX. The 1,700-mile walk began JANUARY 1st in NASHVILLE, raising awareness for homeless teens.

WAYNE said: “This has been one of the most challenging, and at the same time rewarding experiences of my life. I know that might sound strange, but it’s true. This journey has made me think back on the childhood I had – there were many nights I didn’t know where I would sleep, and had no idea if I’d have any food. Even today, there are kids out there facing the same problems—nowhere to go, no one to care for them. It’s just amazing that in this country child homelessness and hunger are still issues. If this walk has helped even one child find a permanent home with a caring family, it’s been worth every step. And if me doing it all over again would help another, I’m ready.”

JIMMY will hit MESA, AZ on SATURDAY (7/31), and he and his band will perform a free concert for the public at TOBY KEITH’s I LOVE THIS BAR & GRILL at 7:30p (PT). Everyone is invited to meet JIMMY at INDIAN STEELE STATE PARK in PHOENIX the next day (8/1) at 8a (PT) to walk the last half-mile with him to HOMEBASE YOUTH SERVICES. 

That night, JIMMY will perform a special invitation-only concert for area foster children at the HARD ROCK in PHOENIX. WAYNE plans to broadcast the concert live via USTREAM, beginning at 7:30p (PT). Just prior to the show, he will talk with the kids and staff back at MONROE HARDING in NASHVILLE through SKYPE.
