Hope makes a difference in all our lives. The presence of Hope may not alter the outcome of life's journey, but it affects the living of that journey. September 23-September 29 is Hope Week. This week is a time to recognize the importance of Hope and to pass it on.
Individuals, students, organizations and companies will be sowing seeds of Hope through projects to benefit others. They will be making cards and delivering them to nursing homes and patients; reading to classes; raising funds and collecting needed items for their favorite charity. Some will be creating awareness for ovarian and breast cancer, serving lunch to patients, or volunteering at a non-profit. The projects are as varied as the groups involved.
The capstone of the week will be the ShareHope Walk of Remembrance and Hope on September 29th at Craighead Forest Park's Ft. Rotary. This event honors the memory of babies who died too soon and is a time to remember the children and offer hope to families who have suffered tremendous loss. It is another reminder that Hope may not alter the outcome of an experience, but it provides comfort for the journey.

Remember someone who gave hope to you and say thank you. Celebrate the gift of Hope and pass it on. Hope wears many faces, but it always brings a smile.
A hope-filled community helps make this a better Region 8.
