After Barry Adkins lost his 18-year-old son Kevin to alcohol poisoning, Barry knew he didn't want to be a victim. Instead, he hiked 1,400 miles from Arizona to Montana with Kevin's ashes in his backpack, in order to raise awareness and reach as many people as he could with a warning about the dangers of binge drinking. He has since authored the book "Kevin's Last Walk: A Father's Final Journey With His Son" and has reached thousands of people across the country with his message.
