Indoor Event when it's too Hot Outside
by Susan Vicknair Theall, Louisiana

It is very hot in southern Louisiana and it was hard to convince mothers to walk a mile outside in August when it is generally 98 degrees. So, this Group met for their World "Walk" for Breastfeeding at a local gym. All the moms committed to riding their one mile on an exercise bike. Each mother had collected donations from family and friends sponsoring their ride. The mothers had a fun time and they collected much needed funds. I think that they had use of the outside pool for the dads and children. One of the group moms was a member, so the group used the facilities for free.
