Why he is taking his grandmother to every US national park

Joy lives in a small house in Ohio and had worked a minimum wage job at a grocery store right up to her early eighties. Two of her Three Sons had died young and she had led a simple life.
During a conversation about Brad's travels on the Appalachian Trail Joy told her grandson she regretted not seeing more of The World .
Then in 2015 Brad's classmate at veterinary school took his own life.
"It Hit Me really hard and took a mental toll, I empathised with being in a dark place myself and I was feeling hopeless," Brad told the BBC.
Brad decided on a Trip to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park and he asked his Grandma Joy to come with him.
On seeing Joy's "zest For Life " Brad decided to document The Trip on Social Media .
"Sometimes it wasn't what She Said but it was the look in Her Eyes , they were in a constant state of wonder and awe.

The Trip was so successful Brad Set Up a Go Fund Me page which helped them pay for a month long Trip to 21 US National Parks.
