Gretchen Catherwood (center) walks with Justine Messenger of Oregon and Rose Temple of Cary during one of their legs of the Trek for Troops fundraiser Nov. 3 at the Stephen and Deirdre Equine Preserve north of Oregon. The three-day event is a fundraiser for the Darkhorse Lodge, a retreat for combat veterans in Springville, Tennessee, that was built by Catherwood and her husband, Kirk, former Byron residents, after their son Alec, 19, was killed while serving with the U.S. Marines in Afghanistan in October 2010.
