Australian 5K Walkabout

On Saturday December 5th we participated in a walkabout sponsored by the Australian Embassy.  It was titled the 2nd Annual Sunset Fun Run, White Ribbon Walkabout.  The white ribbon signifies the problem of violence against women.  We walked from the Mangrove Marina to the Spanish Wall and back.  Pictured below are Elder and Sister Furstenau.

 

 We ran into one of PICS seminary students who was running with his basketball team.  His name is Mark Bermudes and he is a freshman.  He plans to serve a mission as soon as he graduates from high school.

 There were about 250 runners and walkers participating in the event.

 And here is Sister Hedgpeth warming up with all of the other walkabouters before the start of the race.
