Reel will be walking approximately 2,301 miles. "Walking for the Voiceless," to help raise awareness towards mental health.

“I have been out walking almost every day multiple times a day if I can. Four months ago, I wasn’t allowed due to an abusive/toxic relationship. I had lost all control. However, I am finally free after leaving in fear of my life. BUT, I can use my legs to walk wherever I want to walk, for any reason that I want to walk NOW,” wrote on Reels GoFundMe page.

“It is all about coming together.

And know that you can overcome anything."
