About Project Meet Me HalfwayProject Meet Me Halfway was born in Jimmy Wayne's kitchen in December 2009. He had turned up the heat on his thermostat in his house in Nashville, and stood with his cup of coffee, remembering the great year he'd had playing music on the "American Saturday Night" tour with Brad Paisley and Dierks Bentley, and he felt very fortunate.
"This guilty feeling came over me," Wayne says. "Here I am living life. I'm comfortable. I'd been on the Brad Paisley tour for a lot of the year, and I just didn't feel like I'd done anything to make a difference. I got to thinking, and I said, 'What if I walk halfway across the country to raise awareness [about youth who age out of the foster care system with nowhere to go]?'" A month later, Jimmy Wayne had layed out his plan: he would walk from Nashville, TN to Phoenix, AZ in the middle of winter. |
