Chris’s Story
« Our Why | Posted on 10/06/2009 10:46 am by adminWhy I walk…
I walk for my sister, Julie. She was 36 years old when she was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. She fought the cancer for 4 years and passed away one month after celebrating her 40th birthday in the hospital.
Julie was a pre-school teacher; kids gravitated to her. She continued to work during her treatments because she did not want to let the kids down….she taught at a preschool and loved being in the classroom.
Julie did not give up, she fought and taught as long as she could..she left behind her legacy at the preschool and also a husband , 14 year old son and a 11 year old daughter. Her children are feisty like her. She taught them to never give up.
She taught all of us…this is why I walk.

Great testimony Chris! You were there for her to the end and then some! My prayer is that God carries you when you get weary.
I am so proud of you.
