‘Paddling with a purpose’: Veteran kayaks 100 miles on Fox River, raising money, awareness

Army veteran Sean Horne completed a 100-mile kayak journey down the Fox River to raise funds and awareness for the Crystal Lake-based nonprofit Veterans Path to Hope. Horne, who manages PTSD through his time on the water, navigated challenging river conditions over six days to support the organization's critical services for veterans, including housing and wellness programs. His efforts highlight the ongoing support provided by local VFW posts for those who served.
