A man running across America to raise mental health awareness passed through Brevard County this week. The runner, whose name was not immediately available, traveled through the county as part of his cross-country journey. Local residents spotted him near the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex on Wednesday. He said the trip is meant to highlight the importance of mental health resources. 'It's about showing people they're not alone,' he told a reporter. The route includes stops in multiple states, with the final destination set for California. Brevard County officials did not comment on the visit. The runner has been traveling for over two months and plans to continue through Florida. He has raised over $15,000 for mental health organizations so far. Local advocates praised the effort but noted more support is needed. 'Awareness is a start,' said one counselor. 'Now we need action.' The runner is expected to leave the area by Friday.
