Jim Sheppard began his trek across America Friday morning, March 13. He left Miami at 4:00 am and headed north on I95 towards New York. Jim is driving to New York with his daughter’s pole vault poles attached to his truck so she, Nati Sheppard, can compete in the New Balance Indoor National Championships on Sunday at 1:00. Bad weather and traffic delays have been aplenty on the first day of his journey. Those who know Jim, know he would do anything for his daughter. Selfless acts like this go unnoticed all the time all over the country. This one won’t go unnoticed! Be careful out there and we will see you in New York. Thank you.
