Family, friends and the Andrew Jackson High School community walked in memory of the 16-year-old who died in August 2021 after a battle with osteosarcoma, which is an aggressive bone cancer.

“It’s just overwhelming. Just the idea that my baby’s name and legacy still goes on, and how many come out to support him,” Talen’s mother Michelle Birt said.With each stride taken, participants were also walking in the hope of fulfilling the dreams of other students.

“Through all that, a seven-hour surgery, physical therapy twice a week, he never complained,” Birt said. “We’re trying to give back to him because he inspired us and inspired all these people.”
