After losing his 18 year old son, Kevin, to alcohol poisoning, as Barry saw it, he had two choices. He could curl up in the corner and allow himself to become a “victim,” Or he could get out and tell as many people as possible about what happened to his son, Kevin. Barry chose the latter. In an effort to raise awareness about the dangers of binge drinking, Barry set out on an epic 1400 mile journey on foot from Arizona to Montana with his son’s ashes in his backpack, stopping at numerous schools, churches and treatment facilities along the way to share his story. Barry’s presentation describes in powerful detail the night his son died, the quiet Sunday morning he got that “knock on the door” and how he came up with the idea to walk from Arizona to Montana. Barry’s message is both a powerful inspiration and a warning about the consequences of even one night of binge drinking.
