On Jan. 1, 2010, the singer-songwriter kicked off the new year by starting a 1,700-mile walk, called Meet Me Halfway, to raise awareness about youth aging out of the foster care system.
This year Jimmy Wayne released his first novel, "Paper Angels" which is based on his song of the same name from 2003. The song generated a lot of awareness in the Salvation Army's Angel Tree program where needy people write what they'd like for Christmas on a paper angel cut-out and put it on a tree.
