SAN ANTONIO – A Texas football coach trying to walk nearly 200 miles for young athletes hit a frightening setback.
Andrew Lee, who attempted to walk from Houston to San Antonio, says he coaches kids with the East End Eagles in Houston and started the journey to raise awareness and support for young football programs.
He says kids simply need somebody willing to believe in them.
While making his way through Seguin on his third day, Andrew suffered heat exhaustion and dehydration and had to be hospitalized.
Doctors gave him two bags of IV fluids and ran blood work. The good news is he says he’s already feeling better and plans to resume the walk tomorrow morning for the final leg of the trek.
