Escorted by Middletown Township police officers and the Langhorne-Middletown Fire Company, the group was part of the nonprofit’s 20,000-mile endeavor to travel across America on foot before Memorial Day.
The team that came through Middletown and Langhorne Borough was traveling an East Coast route that will end on Memorial Day in Dallas.
The Carry The Load crew was welcomed with fanfare in Upper Makefield, Yardley Borough, and Newtown Borough. They stopped at the fire station in Langhorne Borough to eat before heading off to Philadelphia with an escort from emergency responders.
