Testing mental and physical limits.

That was the reason Nebraska wrestler Eric Schultz and former Husker standout Tyler Berger decided to make the 104-mile journey from Lincoln to Omaha and back. The big kicker for the duo is they aren’t going to sleep the entire way.

The walk will take about 40 hours in all.

It wasn’t until the hike actually started at 7 a.m. Friday that Berger and Schultz realized they could have some external effect.

“We didn’t even think about raising money or awareness for anything,” Berger said over the phone while walking on U.S. 6 east of Lincoln, “but it is great it will work out this way.”

The money raised will go directly to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Camp Kesem organization.

Camp Kesem raises money and puts on a summer camp for children ages 6-18 who have had their parents affected by cancer.

“This is a really busy time for them with wrestling, school, graduation,” Camp Kesem executive team member Noah Brittenham said, “but they are taking time out to show so much compassion for an organization that means a lot to the community."
