As Kevin Fern continues to walk across the country to support oncology camps, he has realized his body does not bounce back as easy from the wear and tear.

An altered, shorter route has the California man coming through Kansas pushing his IV pole that holds several cancer wristbands of children across the country, including Nova Martensen. The Great Bend two-year old passed away this past January from cancer. Since then, her family including her father Josh, have attempted to find ways to bring awareness to childhood cancer.

Instead of walking through the southeast portion of the country, Fern shaved off 600 miles coming through Kansas along his journey to get to Boston Children’s Hospital. The walk started on March 25 in California.

Fern is averaging 25-30 miles per day and often stops at oncology camps along the way. The business owner from Los Angeles praised Camp Hope in Great Bend and visited Camp Quality in Wichita last Thursday.
