I came up short yesterday but am filled with gratitude: for your encouragement, for your willingness to cheer me on and spread the word up and down the state, and for seeing me through the finish. (All 625 miles!) I will always be grateful. Thank you. facebook.com/notes/vivek-vis…

The Finish: I started in Sacramento and finished 625 miles later with families at Friendship Park at the US-Mexico border — where families separated by our borders have a moment to reunite #500MilesforCA
