CLARENCE, N.Y. (WKBW) — A Clarence mother's 500-mile trek across New York State ended Saturday at Sunset Park.
We first introduced you to Debbie Curtis earlier this month and her journey all in honor of her late son Brock.
Curtis traveled across the state, walking about 22 miles a day. You can watch our story below and read more here.
"I'd probably walk around the world if I thought it'd bring more attention to the issue," said Curtis. "People with mental illness still do not feel supported as much as those who have other kinds of illnesses."
Brock struggled with a bipolar diagnosis and died at the age of 24. His mother then founded the 4 Team Brock Foundation to raise awareness for others.
"Mental illness is an illness and health is health," said Curtis. "We really want to focus on getting people to support others."
Curtis finished at Sunset Park, where Brock grew up playing and a bench in his memory now sits.
"Brock was with me the whole way," she said. "I really did literally talk to him when it was in the 30s and raining a couple of days and I said 'Hey, you really gotta help me get through this,' and he did."
