Please accept our "thank you" note for your support to Rose's Journey - we couldn't have done it without you. Thank you to all the companies that supported us with publicity and other logistical support: Sanyu FM Breakfast show, Power FM, CBS, Rwenzori Water - we thank you.
Thank you to all the walkers/ runners - you were stars ... your level of dedication was exceptional - well done you all! Your messages after the journey have been very encouraging and we are even more motivated to keep organising this event. We are so glad to hear that this was more than a 'walk' or 'run' to you - many of you feel that this was an expression of your own journey in life and of the things that touch your very humanity - hope, love, courage, inspiration, victory... and much more.
Rose quotes J Piper on her email signature thus: "Love is a way of saying to another: It's good that you exist, it's good that you are in the world" - this is the message that I feel most of you conveyed by support Rose's Journey and joining us to walk/ run the many kilometers from Bamunanika to Kiwoko.
It is rewarding to note that we had at least 82 walkers/runners. We have already collected $15,000 for Hope Ward (mostly from online donations), collected 3,018,000/= in Uganda and are following up 820,000/= in pledges. Your generosity is much appreciated ... we know that you have planted the seeds that we trust will yield even more donations so as to achieve our goal of fund raising for the treatment of needy people on the IHK Charity Ward (Hope Ward) and for a nursing scholarship for deserving but poor students. Thank you for touching those around you ...
Thank you for bringing hope and adding your voice to Rose's Journey.
