Metro Womens Center is a 501(c)3 non-profit pregnancy

about pregnancy alternatives so life-affirming decisions can be made What if I cant be there the day of the event?
concerning the outcomes of pregnancies. For more information visit No problem! You can walk/bike on your own in your favorite park
or indoor space and mail your sponsor form and pledges to our
www.MetroWomensCenter.org.
Crystal office by May 18th.

Why have an Amazing Grace Walk/Bike?

Since 2003, MWC has been raising capital funds to establish the
Amazing Grace Home a safe, Christ-centered home for four
pregnant women over the age of 18. In November 2011, a home
was purchased for $158,000! We are praising the Lord for His
provision! The Walk/Bike will provide ongoing operating funds
for the home of approximately $75,000/year which will cover paid
resident managers (living on site), a case manager working directly
with the residents, utilities, insurance and other household expenses.

How far do I have to walk or bike?

The event is a short one-mile, family-fun stroll or bike ride. You will
be asking individuals to sponsor you for your participation in the
event instead of sponsorships on a per-mile basis. Participants may
bike or walk further if they are so inclined!
