Tellman Knudson, who is running barefoot across America, to raise money and awareness about the issue of homeless youth, came through Parkersburg this week. He ran in downtown Parkersburg on Thursday, and then held a little "meet and greet" at a local fitness place, Anytime Fitness, in Vienna that evening. He had lined up with Miss West Virginia USA Erica Goldsmith, who is from Wood County (and who ran with him!) Our own Lisa Doyle Parsons represented us at the "meet and greet" and had a display about the agency there. (See accompanying picture!) Lisa had discussions with the participants about our local work with homeless youth, and there may be some further discussions with Tellman and his promoter about some financial contribution from his fund raising for our local efforts.
