Why he's walking 400 miles from LA to San Francisco in a teddy bear costume

Bearsun

Some people seem to have gotten very bored during the pandemic. Jesse Lasios, age 33, who goes by the name Bearsun when he wears his giant teddy bear costume, says he recently decided to take Bearsun for a walk between Los Angeles and San Francisco (a 400 miles journey.) He says he was approached by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department during his walk on Tuesday (April 13th). The police ended up tweeting about the encounter, writing, “This was a bear-y unique situation. You may have seen a large teddy bear walking through town. One of our deputies got to meet the individual inside the bear & learned his goal is to complete a walk from Los Angeles to San Francisco. We wish him the best of luck on his adventure.” Lasios says the deputy only wanted to make sure he was safe and hydrated. He also says that other obstacles, such as road closures and unexpectedly difficult terrain have caused delays that pushed his expected arrival date in San Francisco back from April 17th to April 21st. He adds that he is spending his nights camping, and is asking for supporters on GoFundMe to help him with food and other costs. He says he’s doing this to simply spread joy.
