Sam Rouleau and Nick Tucker are two men on a
journey across America. They began in their home
state of Maine at the coast of the Atlantic Ocean and
will continue until they reach the Pacific coast.
Through an organization called Making Strides:
Rediscovering the Dream, Sam and Nick will spend
200 days walking across the country and seeking
charitable opportunities in every town in which they
stop. As they walk nearly 25 miles a day, they serve
those in need. Along their journey, they document
what they see, and they hope to inspire others to find
meaningful ways to impact the lives of others. Once
the duo reached east Arkansas, they called Our House,
asking how they could help. Two days later they
arrived in Little Rock and volunteered with Our Club,
helping the kids with homework and answering lots
of questions about their cross-country journey.
