Kenneth Anderlitch is anything but common. His life story is a version of one you may have already heard, but his response to it is what lands him in this episode of the Uncommon People Podcast. Early experiences of abuse as a child gave way to drugs, alcohol, and homelessness as an adult. But Kenneth's story of perseverance is one that breaks through the cultural taboo surrounding child abuse, and provides strength and courage to others. The grit he displays in overcoming adversity was on full display when he set off on the 223 mile journey from Austin, TX to Corpus Christi, TX... on foot.
In this episode we discuss Ken's story, his admiration for ChildSafe, a child advocacy group in San Antonio, and his insanely long run that (at the time of this upload) has raised over $17,000 to combat child sexual abuse. Please visit road2healing.org to learn more about ChildSafe, and to donate to the cause. Tell them Kenneth Anderlitch sent you.
If you or someone you know is a victim of child physical or sexual abuse, please contact the authorities. Also, find your local advocacy group, and most importantly know that you are not alone.
