A 35-year-old former Marine is going to hike around Lake Michigan for the fourth year in a row.
Travis Snyder of Holland, will walk 900 miles starting this Sunday around the lake, into the U.P., to Green Bay, and Chicago to raise money and awareness about veteran suicide and mental health.
“The organization that I support on these walks is Mission 22 and they operate on a national level to help our sisters and brothers in arms with mental health challenges and provide them resources and support as well and this will be my fourth year supporting this organization.” Snyder said.
Snyder, who served in Afghanistan, says he and his Marine brothers lost one of their own to suicide in 2019 and he's taken it upon himself to advocate for veteran mental health.
His walk should take eight weeks.
