Four members of the St. Norbert College ROTC will conclude the Kewaunee County portion of their 140-mile trek to Milwaukee on Tuesday. Carsen Sherrick and three others on his crew are continuing a tradition for the group by hiking to support Helping Out Our American Heroes (H.O.O.A.H.), a military-based charity helping veterans through their bouts with post-traumatic stress disorder and other mental illnesses. Part of the tradition includes spending a night at the Luxemburg Fire Department before hiking through Kewaunee on their way to Milwaukee. Sherrick says the generosity of the communities they visit makes the journey to Milwaukee and the quest to raise $20,000 in the process worth it.

Sherrick and his fellow ROTC members hope to complete their trek by Saturday, averaging approximately 20 miles a day. You can find out how you can support their efforts by clicking on the link.
