The Cobb family of Houston, Texas, who has been walking across America to honor their deceased daughter, finally has an end date for their 4,000-mile journey in sight. Julia Cobb passed away at age 8 from Ewing’s Sarcoma, a form of bone cancer. Her family was looking for a way to memorialize her and decided to walk as a family from Disneyland to Walt Disney World, raising awareness for pediatric cancer research. The Cobbs began their trip in August 2014 and have walked 25 miles per day.
The family will arrive in Orlando on Father’s Day weekend, June 20-21, 2015. Special events are planned during this time and they have asked on their Facebook page for anyone who is available to come celebrate that weekend with them.
