Barefoot runner tastes Jackson County hospitality
Submitted by jcht2010 on
Going the distance for education is what runner Joseph Kai-Tsu Liu plans to do. Liu has been running barefoot since July 2 from Montreal, Canada and will continue to do so until he reaches the end of the world in Argentina. It is a 12,000 mile journey.
He recently made a stop in Jackson County where he met several locals who helped him reach his destination by providing financial assistance and a place to stay.
Joseph Liu stopped in Edna on Dec. 15 and spent time with members of the Baptist Temple Church delivering food baskets and singing Christmas carols. Members of the Run for God group put Liu up in a hotel for the night. From left are Pastor Jeff Moore, Christina Mulenex, Kendall Bradley, and Liu.
