4h agoAlex Moreno raised awareness for mental health and suicide prevention by bear crawling across the Brooklyn Bridge.
Just as he did in 2020, Moreno started on the Manhattan side of the bridge and crawled his way to other side.
He says growing up in foster care helped to increase his understanding for the severity of mental illness.
It is his hope this crawl will start a conversation as people watch him.
