The Long Walk for Terri's Freedom - In
Defense of Life
Beginning December 12, 2003, a
winter walk across the country, 2,100 miles in 53 days, the march
In Defense of Life is an amazing demonstration of support for Terri
Schindler-Schiavo and the Florida lawmakers who stood for her right to
live.
The walk -- from Split Rock Lighthouse in Two Harbors, Minnesota, is expected to arrive in Florida's capitol, Tallahassee, on May 13, 2004. The route follows the Mississippi River to New Orleans, then along the Gulf coast to Tallahassee. This is a demanding and perilous sacrifice, but it will obtain manifold graces for the defense and dignity of life... There will be a prayer vigil from 7-9 pm daily along the route. Organizers call the movement an offering of "prayers, penance and sacrifice in solidarity with our sister, Terri Schiavo and in support of Governor Jeb Bush for his courageous defense of the sanctity of life."
