100 Years Old WWII Veteran Walked 100 Miles To Save An Orphanage On His Birthday
This is the inspiring story of WWII veteran Jerry Redway and his love for kids. Jerry was an orphan himself before he decided to enlist. He spent his whole life serving for the honor of the country. But after the war ended, he came back home alone having lost most of his comrades that went together. Jerry was all by himself yet again with no relatives or family, during night time he would experience countless sleepless nights from PTSD and is also prone to panic attacks even during the day.
The only place he could find peace and solace is during his regular visits to the orphanage he was raised at. Being raised his whole life without parents Jerry knew the struggle of growing up orphaned. He tried his best to be a guidance and parental figure to the kids living at the orphanage. But in recent years due to limited funding.
The Foster Home Is Due To Close Down Soon
“I just couldn’t believe the only place I can call home is going to be gone soon.”
The management and Jerry tried many ways to raise the needed funds, they tried appealing to funds and donors and even doing presentations all over. But they just couldn’t attract enough attention to raise the funds. Jerry was feeling hopeless from the impending closure of the orphanage, but it all changed during one of the orphanage community meeting.
“We were asking for any ideas to raise funds and all that. Suddenly one of the members just jokingly said about doing something viral.”
“He said, do something crazy like walking 100 miles to celebrate your 100th birthday. I thought about it and said… I could do that since I used to walk a lot back in the war.”
Deep down Jerry knew it would be hard to achieve for his aging body. But to his surprise, the news spread like wild fire. The local media even offered to provide coverage for the event and many people started noticing what was happening to the orphanage. Jerry realized this might actually the only chance the orphanage has.
What Started As A Random Idea Turned Into The Only Sliver Of Hope
Soon after Jerry started training for his birthday walk. In the beginning he would be able to only walk 3 to 5 miles per day, even with his best struggle and determination he could only reach 7 miles before running out of energy and his body giving upon him. His doctor strongly advised him against performing this stunt citing the dangers that could come with his old body and heart.
“It just seems so impossible for me to continue anymore. But I knew the orphanage needed me more than ever. I couldn’t give up here, I have to finish what I started.”
Jerry tried to find many ways to hit the 100 mile mark, he tried wearing a leg brace to provide more support but soon realized that it was obstructing his movements. He even tried taking painkillers to tough it out. But nothing worked. This was when a former veteran Barns Cadrick heard about his news, Barns contacted Jerry and offered to help.
“When I First Saw Barns I Was Shocked!”
“He is still so energetic despite his age, I couldn’t believe my eyes! I asked him how he managed to maintain such energy at his age. This was when Barns took out a small bottle from his pocket.”
“This has been a routine I used since I left the army. I always massage my body with it before sleeping and regularly meditates with it through incense sticks. It calms my body and relaxes my muscles somehow. They even call it the Spring of Youth, its official name is Tiera Max™.” – Barns Cadrick
Tiera Max™ was founded by Dr. Ian Bowman a Harvard Researcher this is what he has to say…
“We created Tiera Max™ through our new branch in innovative aromatherapy, after 7 years of research we have finally found a breakthrough. We found out the neurological effect in our brains effects our daily bodily functions. Through aromatherapy we could stimulate different olfactory receptors in our brain, which triggers the secretion of hormones such as dopamine and adrenaline.”
“TieraMax™ is made with a rare Peppermint that is grown only in Northern India. Many ancient civilization have cultured their body through these exotic plants, this is how they are able to plow the fields for hours on everyday. We were able to retain many of its special aroma and effects into a small bottle.”
“Tiera Max™contains micro molecules that has high anti-oxidant that can seep through our brain when we sleep and helps us achieve better REM sleep, allowing us to wake up feeling more refreshed and sharp.”
Jerry Was Skeptical At The Beginning
“I couldn’t believe that an essential oil could help me. But at this point I have nothing to lose, I have to try everything.”
After using it for a few days Jerry was surprised by its effects.
“It blew me away! I tried massaging on my body and sleeping with it for a few days. The nights that I do, I had the best sleep since coming back from the war. When I was awake there is this feeling of energy and clarity like never before. I tried walking on the days I do it and was able to hit 8 to 10 miles easily!”
With renewed hope and determination Jerry continued on with his training until the day of his birthday event. There were many spectators as the media starts to broadcast his walk.
He Was Able To Effortlessly Walk Through The 100 Mile Mark Within 11 Days
During his walk many of the spectators flocked together and marched on with him, providing support to his cause. At the end of the event the orphanage was able to amass a total of 137,982 dollars through everyone’s support to continue their operations!
“I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. It was all thanks to Tiera Max™ that I was able to save the orphanage. The kids are also happy that I have more energy now to play with them.”
“I hope I did a good job as a role model for them in the future. If you know anyone who is also struggling with sluggishness or lack of energy, please share my story to them.”
Many people around the world have tried Tiera Max™. 97.3% of our volunteers experienced better focus and felt more energetic. If you are thinking of getting one now might be a good time, Tiera Max™ is offering up to 70% off to raise awareness for veterans.
