Dear Mamas & Grandmamas,

Hope you had an amazing Mother’s Day.  You all deserve it!  I’m writing to you because as a mother, what I’m about to share will hit close to home.  But I know, like me, you will want to do something to make a difference.

We have been blessed to experience the miracle of having children.  We also have been so blessed to be able to provide for them a safe and loving home.  It is only by the grace of God that we find ourselves where we are – and yet so many are not so fortunate.  Last weekend as we celebrated motherhood, many mothers around the world were unable to do so because their greatest joys were stripped from them.  Their children were taken from them and they may never see them again.

As I prepare for my first triathlon that will be coming up in June, I wanted to dedicate this major milestone to the many mothers out there whose greatest joys were turned to their darkest nightmares.  I want my training and my inaugural race to raise money to end the sickening $32 billion industry of child trafficking. 

The non-profit organization, Love 146, works towards the abolition of child sex slavery and exploitation through prevention and after-care.  After looking through their website, I felt compelled to support this cause and I know all of you will too.  We have the opportunity to defend and protect these kids whose mothers are unable to.  They deserve to be loved and they deserve to know that they are worth so much more.

Here is a link to the page I created to help raise money towards this cause.  Please watch the video that you’ll find at the link below.

If you feel impressed to give, please do so generously.  Help spread awareness to your family and friends.  The least we can do is to help these young children have a safe place to sleep at night.

Happy Mother’s Day! 

With Love,

Judy
