Below is my daughter's email regarding Steps for Life (she has been participating for 8 years now). Please help spread the word (perhaps you can forward to people you know who may be interested). Even if you can't give, you can pray that many lives will be saved (physically and spiritually). Recently, in Oregon, Pregnancy Resource Centers (PRC) have been under attack by abortion advocates. We are fighting the good fight and the enemy doesn't like that. Many walkers (including my daughter) are somewhat discouraged this year by the low amount of pledges received. We hope to be able to raise lots of money to save innocent lives. If everybody gives even a few dollars, the amount does add up . If you live in Oregon, please consider coming to join us on May 12th at Pioneer Courthouse Square in Portland to show support for PRC. Let's put compassion into action! Thanks a bunch, Urailak ("blessedmom") ------------------------------------------------------ Hi, My name is Alyssa Liljequist. I am an 8th grade homeschooler. My parents are Eric and Urailak Liljequist. I am participating in Steps for Life (2.5 mile walkathon), a fund-raising event for Pregnancy Resource Centers (PRC) again this year. This year if you sponsor a walker for at least $150 by May 1, 2007, you will receive a free Steps for Life sweatshirt. I also have my own website where you can visit and make pledges online. The address is http://stepsforlife.ewalk.org/LifeofFaith. The Pregnancy Resource Centers of Greater Portland help women and teens who face unplanned pregnancy. They help meet their emotional, physical, and spiritual needs, enabling them to choose life. They have six centers throughout the Portland area, and have ministered to over 110,000 women and teens since 1984. They provide free services such as counseling, ultrasound, adoption info., maternity & baby clothes, parenting classes, spiritual encouragement, etc. Please join me in saving the innocent lives of unborn babies by making pledges. You don't need to pay right now. You can choose to be billed later. Any amount would greatly be appreciated! If you do not want to make pledges online, you can still make pledges by emailing me your name, address, and the amount you would like to give. My email address is serving_theKingofkings@yahoo.com. Donations to PRC are tax-deductible. For more info. about Steps for Life, please visit http://www.prc-events.org/. Sincerely, Alyssa P.S. Thanks so much to all of last year's sponsors! I was able to raise over $1,000. I hope you will join me again this year in saving precious, innocent lives. God bless!
