Meet the incredible Barefoot Dutchman
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KREX) — The impressive Anton Nootenboom – aka “The Barefoot Dutchman” is walking barefoot from Los Angeles to New York.
This weekend, Nootenboom is in the Grand Valley on his way to New York.
It’s a nice break from the treacherous desert he’s risen from ahead of the unforgiving mountains ahead.
It’s a hard journey. But a valued one for Nootenboom. He’s doing this to raise awareness for Men’s Mental Health – something he’s struggled with in the past.
He’s putting his poor feet through pain to show that it’s very okay for men to speak out about mental health struggles.
His message – just like his feet – is a strong one.
