Despite the challenges he faced trying to walk from San Fernando to Port of Spain in protest of the spiraling crime rate, radio personality Terrance Guevara intends to complete his journey on Saturday.
His march had been spurred by the death of teenager Rachael Ramkissoon.
On Monday, Guevara's story went viral when he embarked on a solo journey from Coffee Street San Fernando with the intention of walking to the capital city.
However he had to stop when he got to Charlieville as both the soles of his feet were blistered and bloodied by pebbles from the road which had gotten into his sneakers.
Yesterday, Guevara said he is hoping to complete his mission this time around and he is calling on other citizens to join in.
"I am trying to plan this leg of the march a little better and I have written the Port of Spain City Corporation seeking permission to use the Brian Lara Promenade on Saturday," he said.
"We intend to begin the march at Mt Hope and go along the Eastern Main Road into Port of Spain."
He said his feet are still sore and his cuts are not healed but he intends to rally through as he believes this effort can awaken the consciousness of the population about crime.
"Yesterday (Tuesday) we had seven murders in 24 hours, it is an issue that is eventually going to come home to you. Don't let that happen before you decide to take a stand and let the powers that be see we are not prepared to sit by and watch our nation deteriorate ."
A father of one, Guevara said he hopes to set a good example for his nine-year-old son.
"We have to show the youths that we are not sitting down and watching our country go down the drain, at the end of the day-I think a lot of people are continuing to live in bubbles thinking that what goes on in other parts of the country do not affect them. They need to let go of that ignorance before it's too late."
