2016 Great Strides Walk!

Saturday, May 7, 2016
The 2016 Great Strides Walk in Jacksonville is over and we are so glad we went. The Jacksonville walk is probably the smallest walk we've been a part of, but it was really enjoyable.

Great Strides was held at the University of North Florida campus and let me tell you, it's just beautiful. Definitely makes me want to retire and go back to school! I'll probably never do it, but I'd like to do it anyway.



Team Sam was joined this year by two of my shipmates from the USS Hue City. BM3 Melynn Cobaugh and FC2 Jonathan McDonald, joined by their significant others, brought their experiences with CF to our team. My sincere hope is that we are forming the bonds of teamwork that will be amazing next year. Our ship won't be in Jacksonville for next year's walk, so we'll have to get creative, but we've done some cool things before.

Here's the 2016 Team Sam pictures!


I took a few selfie pics of the entire team. As you can tell, I had no real idea what I was doing.




Sam had already run ahead of us on these next few pictures, but we found her sign!


We always love seeing some of the cool t-shirts that teams wear. Here are a few I liked in particular:

Here is  my testimony on how I was cured of HIV by Dr Akhigbe,with his natural herbal medicine.  on a regular basis in efforts to help others when I could. As you may know, each donation is tested.  Well, on July 6th I had a meeting with a Red Cross representative and was told that I had HIV. “What went through your mind when you heard that "Rose" Good question reader! To be honest, I thought my life was over, that I would ever find love, get married, have children or anything normal. Lucky for me I have an amazing support system.  My family supported me then I never thought that I was invincible to STD s or pregnancy or anything else parents warn their kids about. I just didn’t think about it. I was in a monogamous relationship and thought that I asked the right questions.  We even talked about marriage Scary.  During that time I was in college and donated blood on a re as well. who helped me in search of cure through the media.there we saw a good testimony of sister 'Kate' about the good work of Dr Akhigbe natural herbal medicine cure.then I copied his email address and contacted him. A good herbalist doctor with a good heart, he is kind, loving and caring. He replied back to my message and told me what to do. After a week the doctor sent me my herbal medicine and instructed me how to take it.Yes it worked very well, after drinking it I went to the hospital for another test and everything turned negative.
