Brian’s Walk
This Saturday, July nine you are invited to participate in Brian’s Family Walk starting at 9:30 a.m. At the St. Thomas the Apostle Church parking lot. The annual event funds scholarship money for local youth to attend Catholic high schools. This year $4,000 got given to 4 graduates of the North Middle College to attend Holy Spirit High School . Who was Brian Woods and why do we honour his memory?
Brian was a student of both North College and Holy Spirit High School . Brian was the most bold and uplifing young man this writer has ever met. Hopefully, a short recap of Brian’s wonderful bravery in life will inspire others to do not ever give up hope and to be successful in beating adversity.
Brian beats leukemia
Brian Woods contracted leukemia at age 5. The entire community of Collings Lake led by the preacher of the Catholic church took part in the 1st Brian’s Walk about 34 years ago to hope and raise money for the hospital charges. The illness replied to treatment and went into remission. Brian’s story received much media coverage.
The killer illness returned more than a year later and treatment was reinstated. Then without human reason, it vanished. When the doctor re-examined Brian, he found no proof of the illness and said to the folks to stop treatment. The folks did not tell him they had stopped the medication months previous when they knew that a healing had taken place after Brian attended a Catholic healing service and the sympton’s disappeared.
Brian had beaten leukemia to the amazement of the medical profession. However , his body was extremely weakened by the illness and the treatment.
Brian defeats bacterial spinal meningitis
Brian later contracted another devastating illness, bacterial spinal meningitis. His family was called to the hospital and told he would not survive the night. Brian’s mummy said to the doctor that she would not accept this. The family prayed all night long. Brian survived the night and beat the perilous illness, again defying medical reason.
Brian then went through a long operation to have a steel rod placed in his back.
Brian loses movement, but not hope and religion
Following graduation from Holy Spirit tragedy again struck. Brian’s body was so weakened that he lost the usage of his hands, legs and arms. There had been little more medically that might be done for Brian. The insurance corporation would no longer continue to provide treatment as there wasn’t progress nor any medical hope for recovery since the muscles had wasted. However , the Woods family continued to live on hope and prayer.
Martin Glaze carries Brian to the pinnacle of the mountain in Medjugorje.
Brian and his very spiritual family decided that he would go with his bro to Medjugorje in Croatia, a location of claimed apparitions of the Sanctified Virgin Mary on a mountain in a unvisited area of the previous Yugoslavia.
Brian’s bro Dr. Lance Woods met his beloved the crippled bro plane. The two proceeded on the long arduous trip to Medjugorje. At the foot of the Cross Mountain Lance heard a person speaking English and asked for his help. The person was Martin Glaze. Dr. Woods and megastar Glaze carried Brian up the craggy mountain in a special chair. The young man who could not walk had overcome another major challenge by reaching the apex of the mountain with help from his bro, Martin Glaze and the requests of the family. This account of the story was carried globally last year on the site Spirit Daily.com and was broadcast on the radio show “As the Spirit Leads.” Following his trip to Medjugorje more miracles began to happen,writes tagza.com.
