We're reviving Team Vie for 2012!
First debuting for the 2009 ThriVe run, we're bringing back our team and raising support for ThriVe! This year Rachel is working behind the scenes, so it's up to Trevor (and anyone else who wants to join in!) to run the race!
WHY?
Because ThriVe "empowers life and healthy choice". Not by just plastering it on our signs, but by truly embodying our mission with every client facing a crisis pregnancy. We empower them with knowledge, confidence, a support network, physical resources, and even God's messages about life, love and forgiveness if their ear is so inclined. And we do it all while respecting the autonomy and decisions of the women we encounter. What we AREN'T about is pressure. It's a pretty stellar organization.
So we'd like to raise some funds that will DIRECTLY impact women facing this crucial time in life. And we'd like your help. Every $55 raised will provide an ultrasound free of charge to a client. Did you know that 90% of women who see their baby in an ultrasound will choose life for their child? That's without pressure or coersion - that's simply with knowledge, empowering them to have more information at the time of their decision. We can all get on board with that!
Our goal is to provide 20 ultrasounds! That means raising $1100. That means that every dollar donated will be used to introduce a mother and child, and we will be part of doing that for 20 families. That's huge, people. That's life-changing.
We'd love for you to join us on May 19th and run the timed 5K, "Walk and Roll" with yourself or your strollers, or Zumba your way through the morning. If you're REALLY reluctant to put on your sneakers at all, just come out to Queeny Park and cheer us on.
Whether you join physically or pledgically (yup, not a word. until now.) please consider being part of this effort. There is a woman out there, and she is about to make a major life decision, and she deserves to know exactly what she's deciding.
Thank you so much!
~Trevor, Rachel, and Mia Kell
