Long Distance Success

Two more images from the Bridge Walk include a sign at the end of the walk, showing the success of the fund-raising drive to date, and a shot of the duo who traveled the furthest to walk and to contribute to the success of the event.

Manuela Bender (left) became Internet friends with Rada Popovic (center) when Manuela was fighting cancer a few years ago. Rada was supporting her daughter, who lost her battle to cancer shortly thereafter. The friendship has continued, and Manuela and her husband Danijel (right) planned a visit to the United States from their home in Germany. The centerpiece of the plan was joining the walk. The support from people who live so far away was welcome and appreciated!
