Posted/updated on: April 26, 2011 at 11:20 am
LUFKIN — To raise money for an affliction called osteogenesis imperfecta, or brittle bone disease, a member of the Texas State Guard is marching from Lufkin to Conroe on foot. Captain Allen Rush of the State Guard’s Tyler Medical Response Group says he’s doing it because his great nephew, Jack Wolf IV, died of brittle bone disease at the age of five weeks. The distance between the two cities is 105 miles. Captain rush is trying to make 20 miles a day so he can make it to the Jack Wolf iv Memorial Foundation Golf Tournament Saturday in Conroe.
