 A Stearns County veteran is taking a 68-mile kayak trip to show others struggling with suicidal thoughts that they can overcome. Randall Redwood will head down the Sauk River starting in Sauk Center July 8th. He'll stop in Melrose, Spring Hill Park, and end the trip in Richmond on July 10th. Along the way, he hopes to meet with people and share his story. He lived with depression and suicidal thoughts for more than 20 years following a traumatic childhood and his time in the military.
