The reason we serve our community!
History of President Jaris Waide's passion for children with Asthma!
Hello! Purely, FYI, sharing background info., keeping in mind that the first year for my event - was in 2000, I was in my wheelchair, when I named my team “A” is for Asthma!
Then, shortly after that event, I decided to make a commitment, to walk the entire alphabet & had a team of volunteers! (.. I was inspired by author, Sue Grafton, her first book was - A is for Alibi, B is for ...., C is for ...., so, on..…)
President Jaris Waide's skin on the issue, for children with Asthma!
By being dedicated to this mission, asthma education, lung health, wellness, ect., we are just hoping to fulfill, finish what I started, Esp. for children, because it is extremely frightening, when, suddenly, you can’t breathe - whether it’s officially diagnosed asthma or just breathing trouble or allergies or Seasonal, it’s a serious situation, at times, resulting calls to 911!
Why President Jaris Waide works for children with Asthma!
Good thoughts and motivations for doing the non profit are because it is a way to have your work carry on into the future. This way your work will have lasting value and the community will have a vehicle to continue to bring asthma to the fore front of it's consciousness.
Working for the community gives my efforts, no matter how small, a part of a bigger ongoing effort that will have lasting effects into the future well beyond my own life and give value to people in the future. A reason for people to keep serving well beyond yours and my lifetimes.
