More reasons to get on the good foot

While thousands of us converged on downtown Oklahoma City for last weekend’s Komen Race for the Cure,  another group of people also gathered for a good cause.

The Walk for Honduras fund-raiser was held Sunday on the campus of Oklahoma Christian University. The event benefited the Good Samaritan Clinic, Mission Predisan in Catacamas, Honduras.

I’m told the clinic serves more than 42,000 patients through medical or education visits each year.

So while many of us were inclined to “think pink” in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, some  got on the good foot to raise money so that more people can receive medical care and hope in the mountain village of Catacamos.

The former executive director of Predisan (which means “to preach and to heal”), Dr. Amanda Madrid, lives in  Edmond.
