Our Birthright Strollerthon 2018!
Challenges
It was a challenging year for our Birthright Strollerthon 2018, with walkers experiencing illness, a death in the family, conflicting dates etc, but in the end the walk came together and we had another successful Birthright Strollerthon. Thank you to all of our walkers, both those who were able to participate this year and those who were not.
The Walk
Some pictures below from the Birthright Strollerthon 2018. Despite Victoria’s recent spell of hot weather, Saturday morning near the water dawned cool and breezy. Just right for a stroll through James Bay in support of Birthright Victoria and our mission of support to women experiencing unplanned pregnancy. After the walk, we had an impromptu picnic complete with cake, juice, violin serenades, and visiting on the grassy slopes surrounding Fisherman’s Wharf Park.
