WHAT IS "40 MILES FOR LIFE"?

DATE TBA
Frederick Abortion Clinic to
The Grotto at Mt. St. Mary's

Not every expectant mother finds herself able to raise her child. Not every couple finds themselves able to have a child. Happily for both, adoption is an option!

As adoptive parents, we believe in honoring God's gift of life through the gift of adoption: "Adoption Is An Option!" Timed to coincide with the autumn nationwide "40 Days for Life", we are running "40 Miles for Life" at 7:00 a.m. on a Saturday this fall (exact date to be announced).

We will run 40 miles from the abortion clinic in Frederick, MD to the National Shrine Grotto of Lourdes at Mount St. Mary's in Emmitsburg, Maryland.

The run will benefit two charities: "Mary's House" a place named after the Blessed Mother, which provides for pregnant teens or new mothers in need (http://maryshouseofmaryland.org/), and; "Frederick County Right To Life" (http://frederickcountyrighttolife.org/Home.html.

This run is an independent endeavor. We do not have a race coordinator nor support stations. Please prepare for this run by providing your own supplies and support crew.

If you are interested in coordinating this race, expanding its enrollment, providing race support, or publicizing it, please feel welcome to contact us at FortyMilesForLife@hotmail.com.

If you are interested in duplicating this race in your own city or town, please feel welcome to contact us at FortyMilesForLife@hotmail.com.

IN THE WOMB - BY NAT.GEO.

"From the moment of conception, every human embryo embarks on an incredible nine-month journey of development. Now, cutting-edge technology makes it possible for us to open a window into the hidden world of the fetus and explore each trimester in amazing new detail. Revolutionary 3D and 4D ultrasound imagery sheds light on the delicate, dark world of a fetus as never before and follows a rare fetoscope operation, performed in utero with the hope of correcting life threatening complications before birth." (Nat'l. Geographic)
