Person in bear costume passes through Miami Valley on charity walk from Los Angeles to New York City

Some people in the Miami Valley may have spotted a person in a bear costume walking through the area this week.

Jeanette Nance at Greenon High School shared a photo of Bearsun Thursday.

The bear, Bearsun, is a Japanese anime-style teddy bear. The person behind the suit is in the progress of walking from Los Angeles to New York City for a good cause.

The walk is raising money for organizations benefitting five different causes: disabled communities, cancer research, mental health, autism, and environmental efforts.
