Mary’s Home Celebrates 2nd Annual Rock & Roll Bridge Walk
Stuart, Fla. – Rocking, rolling, walking, and celebrating brought the Evans Crary Bridge in Stuart to life during the Mary’s Home 2nd Annual Rock & Roll Bridge Walk on May 17.
More than 120 participants walked the 2.2-mile stretch over the St. Lucie River to support the mission of Mary’s Home to provide a faith-based transitional pathway leading expectant women to a life of self-sufficiency and dignity for themselves and their babies.
The event saw an outpouring of support from the community: a Zumba session led by Janice Gonzalez, breakfast provided by the City of Stuart Police Community Relations Department, a water station by the Stracuzzi Real Estate Team, sweet treats from Cobi’s Cookies, and photos by Mission Illuminate. David Motto through the William J. Motto Family Foundation served as the event’s lead sponsor.
Redeemer Lutheran Church & School provided the welcoming space to start the walk and to host informational booths from Grassam Spine & Wellness Center, Children’s Emergency Services, Volunteers in Medicine, Care Net TC, SafeSpace, Villages of Hope, LAHIA, Health Council SE Florida, and Boys & Girls Clubs of Martin County.
“We’re grateful to the volunteers, staff, current and past residents, and our energetic walkers and sponsors for joining us for the event,” said Alean Timm, Executive Director of Mary’s Home. “With every step, they help us break the cycle of poverty for mothers and their babies and the generations that follow.”
Plans are already underway for the 3rd Annual Rock & Roll Bridge Walk. For more information about Mary’s Home, visit www.maryshome.org, its Facebook page, or Instagram.
