Walk for Lysa

This Sunday, April 5th, we will be doing the "Walk for Lysa". Lysa was my neice who was taken to be with Jesus on July 8th, 2002 at the age of 19. She was an amazing individual who never let the fact that she had Muscular Dystrophy inhibit her from doing anything she wanted to do. Through her determination and the way she lived out her life to the fullest, she touched so many lives. As a tangible way to remember Lysa, a group of her friends decided to start the Walk for Lysa in the spring of 2003. The first walk was a huge success and it continues to raise much needed money and awareness for Muscular Dystrophy. If you would like to learn more about Muscular Dystrophy, follow this link to the Fraser Valley Chapter.



The 5 km walk will be held at Mill Lake in Abbotsford this Sunday, with registration at 1:00 and the walk starting at 2:00 p.m. Feel free to come out and just enjoy the walk around the lake. For more details, click on the info brochure or the registration form. We would love to see you there!
