Support from someone less fortunate.

In 1995 While walking through Ohio one particular leg saw me walk between Carlyle and Breeze about 12 miles.At the start of the day I was joined by a young 21 year old lady Her name was Krista Koch she wanted to support me for my effort.What made her commitment special was that she had cystic fibrosis and had rescently had recieved a new heart and set of lungs.She was in some difficulty I discovered at the end of the day but nevered said so.She was my hero.Sadly her elder sister had also died of cf some years earlier.A few years later sadly I learned that krista had lost her battle with her illness she was so courageous.It had been a local Lions club that raised the money for her to have the operation,God Bless you Lions International.
