Austin MIX 94.7 DJ walking to help PTSD veterans

Not sure why he picked this charity since there are so many others actually training and providing PTSD Service dogs, but it is a nice idea to raise awareness on the number of suicides that happen each day.

A local radio host is hoping to raise money and awareness for a growing issue affecting veterans post-traumatic stress disorder.

Mix 94.7's Jay Styles is doing what he calls a "Courage Walk" this week, walking 20 miles every day through Friday.

His goal is to raise at least $20,000 for the Wounded Warrior Project.

FOX 7 caught up with him Wednesday, while he was walking from the State Capitol to the Dell Diamond in Round Rock.

"That's why I'm out here walking, for PTSD. It's something that's been thrown under the rug, and we need to bring it to the forefront and help our military vets battling PTSD.

Twenty-two vets kill themselves every day. This is an epidemic we need to combat," Styles said.

Styles says he wants to raise $20,000 because that's the cost to train one service dog.
