“One step at a time. One mile at a time. It’s a journey you’ll take and you’ll find it,” Littrell said.
As this part of his journey ends, a new one begins.
“We actually got engaged on the trail, and we do plan to get married when we get home,” said Littrell’s fiancé Kristen Fuhrmann. “I fell in love with the honesty and the person.”
Every mile along the way, he’ll keep fighting.
“I told these guys we’d ride for them and we will and we did,” Littrell said.
