Walk for Life



Each year, The Farmville Area Pregnancy Crisis Center holds the Walk for Life. They raise money to use for counseling pregnant women, provide resources for them, testing, supplies and other services. This center is based on Christian principles so they council based on being Pro Life. Ryan and I felt the urgency to be there this year and to take Tristan with us. We feel that we have been blessed in a way that we can never put into words. If other people realize the miracle of adoption, then maybe they will realize that the life inside them is in fact a person, and therefore abortion should not be an option.

We walked around the perimeter of Wilks Lake and then they had a celebration with food, music and fun. They also did a balloon release, (poor environment) and each person was supposed to write on the balloon something that they wanted to be lifted up to Jesus. Needless to say, I thanked him for the gift of Tristan's life and the fact that he has trusted Ryan and I with that special gift.
