Second Annual Boonie Walk for Babies!

The second annual Boonie Walk for Babies was a huge success! We had a wonderful turnout despite starting at an earlier time to avoid the heat! The weather was perfect, although I've heard the wonderful volunteers down at the last water station got a bit soggy right as the walk was starting. As far as I know, no walkers got wet from the rain though! This year we had the Military Family Life Consultant there to brief their program and offer their services to anyone that needs some extra support in a time of need.



The women behind the walk! We remembered to get a picture together this year! Maryann and Stacy

Perfect timing! A rainbow appears shortly after the start of the walk.

Now that's dedication! She came to run after working her night shift with no time to even change!
Some walkers with their kids
Some dogs even made it out!

We would like to give a special thanks to the Andersen Enlisted Spouses' Club for providing snacks and water for the walk, as well as volunteers to help pass out water at the water stations. Also for the volunteers from the 734 AMS and any other volunteers that came out to make this walk the success that it was. We couldn't have done it without you!

We look forward to seeing you all out here next year!

Second Annual Boonie Walk/Run for Babies

Who: Everyone with base access on Guam!

What: Fun 5K Walk/Run, memorial garden

Where: Bamboo Willies, Tarague Beach, Andersen Air Force Base, Guam

When: 6:00 am show time, 6:30 am go time Saturday, May 7, 2011!

Why: To raise awareness for pregnancy and infant loss, to remember our babies, and find out what you can do to help keep it from happening to you and your sweet babies!

How: Just show up! Bring your friends, family, and anyone else you can find! It is along a road that has low traffic volume, so it is stroller friendly! There will be a couple turnaround points for those walking with children for a shorter walk!
