It's All About Loving One Another

A few weeks ago I saw a post on FaceBook from a very good friend about a walk the family was going to do to raise money to help find a cure for diabetes. My first thought was, "sure I can donate and help support the cause". So I clicked on the link to read more about what it was they were doing. I think I made it to the end of the first paragraph when an inner voice spoke to me and strongly said "that's all well and good, but you can do more." 

Yes I can! I thought, I can do more! And I knew exactly what I could do. I could join the team, set a goal and help raise even more money than I was going to donate to help find a cure. I emailed my friend and asked about the specifics. What day and time they would walk and how far. I might even be able to coordinate my walk for the same day the organization would all be doing their walk back in Virginia. 

Armed with all the information I needed I joined their team and began soliciting  my friends and family to help support me in my walk. I wasn't surprised at all to see how the love would grow.

Day of the walk: We were blessed with a beautiful day with no rain. Samai did the talking for me as we walked. Sporting her backpack with a sign attached to both sides that clearly read "Walk to Cure Diabetes" that included a link to the organization. We headed down Marine Corp. Drive in Hagatna, one of the busiest roads on Guam. A few cars honked and a few people waved. We had a wonderful time getting our exercise this day, bringing awareness to so many people in the area!

Phil took the afternoon off from work to join me with my walk. It was so nice to have him there to support me, helping to support others. And that my readers is how love grows.
