While on his journey Troy has suffered from kidney stones as well as injuries to his feet, which have demonstrated potential medical danger, and without a full medical clearance from a medical professional it is in his best interests to not continue his mission at this time.
Soldiers' Angels will continue the previous and ongoing mission of supporting our nation's returning heroes and veterans that Troy Yokum's efforts contributed to in support of veterans and their families.
"We at Soldiers' Angels applaud his efforts to date, as it is truly a remarkable feat," says Soldiers' Angels Executive Director Toby Nunn, "We pledge that we will assist him as he transitions into the next phase or chapter of his life with his wife."
Any donations received by Soldiers' Angels in support of the Drum Hike for Our Heroes project will be applied directly to the organization's veterans support projects.
Soldiers' Angels is an award-winning 501(c)(3) with hundreds of thousands of volunteers providing aid and comfort to members of the U.S. Armed Forces, veterans and military families through a wide variety of hands-on projects and volunteerism.
