Man bikes across country for PTSD awareness

OMAHA, Neb. (FOX42KPTM) — A man traveling to all four corners of the US made a stop right here in Omaha Friday.

Eli Smith is doing it to raise awareness for PTSD.

He is currently on his third leg of his journey from Seattle to Maine.

And before this, he actually walked clear across the country.

He says it's so important to be there for people who might be struggling with ptsd.

"invite someone for dinner. Do something. Try to get them out of the house. Even if it's someone that you think is okay,” said Smith.

He will be in town until tomorrow.
