OKTIBBEHA COUNTY, Miss. (WCBI) – 62 year-old Bernie Buffone is peddling his way across the country to raise money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. He left his Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania home August 30th and began an 85 hundred mile journey to Memphis.

Buffone went down the east coast first. Monday morning, he left Gordo, Alabama and will be traveling through north Mississippi this week. He’s not asking for donations. He just wants to convince as many people as possible to give at least 25 cents to St. Jude.

“Because there are children out there that are very sick, and need other help. That’s why I’m out here generating funds for the Children St. Jude’s Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee.”

After stopping at the Memphis hospital, Buffone plans to make his way to Los Angeles and travel back to Memphis again before heading home.
