Youth In Action Walk

About a week ago, I spent 7am-1pm on a Sunday attending the 2009 Youth In Action Walk with about 60 kids from my church, contributing to the hundreds of people there alike. We ate breakfast and attended mass with our Diocese's Bishop in the morning, then began our 5k walk along the West Palm Beach Intercostal waterway, ending with lunch at 12. I am in the picture above from our local newspaper "The Palm Beach Post" second on the very front left with my friends at the mass. The walk raised more than $26,000 to fund after school programs and centers to keep kids and teens out of trouble. As well as for daycare centers and help for families with two working parents or single parents. The programs and centers will assist kids/teens with their education and sustaining their health by providing clean and safe environments for after school. They will provide homework assistance, outdoor activities and general supervision. In addition, the child daycare help and centers will aid families with income problems and provide places for their children while they work. Our motto this year was "kids helping kids". The picture below is also a shot from "The Palm Beach Post" of a few of us starting the walk. Overall, It was a great experience helping support the education and health of others, like many other events that I have done with my church. :) To view more information, you can read the article on the Palm Beach Post website: Click Here
