One college sophomore went beyond just walking a mile in someone else's shoes.

Boston College sophomore Gordon Wayne walked 500 miles from his hometown in central Virginia to Boston to raise funds and awareness about homelessness.

"Every time I want to quit I just think about the people I'm doing this for and this is bigger than myself and I have to keep going," Wayne told"World News Tonight." In an effort to recognize an estimated 500,000 Americans affected by homelessness, Wayne decided to walk from his hometown in Caroline County, Virginia, to his college in Massachusetts.

Even through the exhaustion, he did not give up and found support from good Samaritans along the way.MORE: Dad creates Zoom costume for daughter and wins Halloween"I'd like to welcome you to the most beautiful campus in the universe: Boston College," Wayne shared with"World News Tonight."
