Brooksville Mother's Day Walk

Show your kids that you are strong and passionate. Show them that their neighbors are all over the world, not just on your block. Show them how you care about all little children, who deserve the chance to live happy lives like they have. Show them how to be leaders in the world. Show them how to take action. After all, part of being a parent is being an example for the person you want them to be. So this Mother's Day weekend, bring the kids and TAKE THE WALK!

Show her what a strong, willful, compassionate person she raised. She has enough knick-knacks and gift baskets, so this Mother's Day show her what a good job she did as your mother. Show her that you care about the world your living in. Show her that you are not mindlessly going about your own life, you see when your help is needed. Show her that you are a person of action, not just talk. This Mother's Day weekend, bring your mom and TAKE THE WALK!

Join mothers and their families throughout the community as we walk for the prevention of mother to child transfer of AIDS.

Brooksville is a small town,  but it has a lot of passion.  People come together to rally behind causes and they support eachother.  This walk is to raise awareness about supporting the world by taking action.  The walk will start in Hernando County Park behind the library (by the bandshell) and move through Brooksville to alert others why we are walking.

On Mother's Day, we are grateful for our mothers who have nurtured us and for our healthy, carefree children. Let's remember mothers across the world who have to face passing a deadly illness to their children. Lets support those women who face having to put their babies in a little box and lower them into the ground. Let's help them prevent all this needless sorrow! HIV/AIDS is an issue that extends beyond our community, but the citizens are willing and ready to help in any way possible. There are 2.3 million children currently living with HIV and each day another mother faces having to pass it to her healthy unborn baby. Across the world, I lull my healthy baby to sleep, urging her to let go, because I know she will wake bright-eyed and alert in a few hours. But what if I didn't know that? What if I had to wonder, every time, if she would ever wake up again. There are a whole generation of mothers out there who face this terrifying reality. But it doesn't have to be this way, with your help, they can have a choice to save their children.

A pregnant mother who is HIV positive can get access to medication and take part in a program that reduces the risk of her passing HIV to her child to just 2%. This treatment, provided by HIVSA, located at the world's largest hospital in Soweto, South Africa, costs just $1.50 per day, and mothers need to take part in the program for just one month before the birth of their child. The people of Brooksville are walking with action, with passion, with purpose and saving innocent young lives.
