Stephens
Cpl.  Stephens of Canton   Georgia plans to start  his  trek at Camp Lejune in North Carolina and hopes to make the 220-mile journey to Virginia Beach in just ten days  according to Fox 5 Atlanta.  He  is also the founder of the Georgia chapter of End 22  an organization named after the number of service members that take their own lives each day. End 22 sets out to raise awareness and provide assistance to military service members who are struggling.
"I'm doing 22 miles a day for 10 days  that's 220  but I can throw in a little extra to make 222 miles in ten days " said  Stephens .
This will be the second hike for the marine. In  January  Stephens  made  his  first attempt by hiking 222 miles but broke  his  leg 50 miles from the finish.  He  says that  he  pushed through the pain to complete  his  goal.
"This is my one last mission  to go down range to save my brothers and sisters. I will not stop until we can stop these numbers from coming in "  he  said.
 Stephens   who is a blacksmith by trade  wears around  his  neck red  white and blue ribbons inscribed with the name of military men and women succumbed to negative thoughts.
"These are almost 100 names of soldiers  sailors  airmen  and marines that we have lost to their demons from PTSD " said  Stephens .
