'Back To The Wild'

The Christopher Johnson McCandless Memorial Foundation, or “Chris’s Purpose," was created by two loving parents with a desire to honor their son’s life by helping mothers in need.

“[Chris] was a young man on a course with his own destiny who unknowingly would change the destiny of others long after his passing. Through this young man, hope lives on.”

On Friday, December 7, tune in to Animal Planet Discovery Channel at 10 p.m. EST to learn more about a new book - “Back To The Wild” - that shares Chris’s touching story through his own photography from his adventurous journey to Alaska.

Chris’s Purpose is a non-profit organization with local ties that supports life-affirming ministry, including Crisis Pregnancy Center of Tidewater. Learn more at www.chrisspurpose.org.
