Brian Was A Student Of Both North School And Holy Spirit High School And Brian Was The Most Bold And Inspiring Young Man This Writer Has Ever Met.
Brian’s Walk
This Saturday, July nine you are invited to participate in Brian’s Family Walk beginning at 9:30 a.m. At the St. Thomas the Apostle Church car park. The annual event funds grant money for local youth to attend Catholic high schools. This year $4,000 got given to four graduates of the North Middle School to attend Holy Spirit Highschool. Who was Brian Woods and why do we honor his memory?
Brian was an alumni of both North School and Holy Spirit High-school. Brian was the most courageous and inspirational young man this writer has ever met. Hopefully, a short history of Brian’s amazing courage in life will evoke others to don’t give up hope and to be successful in beating adversity.
Brian beats leukemia
Brian Woods contracted leukemia at age five. The whole community of Collings Lake controlled by the pastor of the Catholic church took part in the 1st Brian’s Walk about 34 years ago to hope and pull in cash for the hospital charges. The disease answered to treatment and went into remission. Brian’s story received much media coverage.
The killer disease returned more than a year later and treatment was reinstated. Then without human reason, it disappeared. When the doctor re-examined Brian, he found no evidence of the disease and told the parents to stop treatment. The elders didn’t tell him that they had stopped the medicine months prior 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 awe of the medical profession. Nevertheless his body was extraordinarily weakened by the disease and the treatment.
Brian defeats bacterial spinal meningitis
Brian later contracted another devastating disease, bacterial spinal meningitis. His folks was called to the hospital and told he wouldn’t survive the night. Brian’s mum told the doctor that she wouldn’t accept this. The family prayed all night long. Brian survived the night and beat the deadly disease, again defying medical reason.
Brian then underwent a long operation to have a steel rod placed in his back.
Brian loses movement, though not hope and faith
Following graduation from Holy Spirit crisis again struck. Brian’s body was so weakened that he lost the use of his hands, arms and legs. There was not a lot more medically that might be done for Brian. The insurance corporation would no longer carry on providing therapy since there wasn’t either progress nor any medical hope for recovery since the muscles had atrophied. But the Woods family continued to live on hope and prayer.
Martin Glaze carries Brian to the top of the mountain in Medjugorje.
Brian and his deeply spiritual family decided that he would go with his brother to Medjugorje in Croatia, a site of alleged apparitions of the Sanctified Virgin Mary on a mountain in a unvisited area of the former Yugoslavia.
Brian’s brother Doctor. Lance Woods met his beloved the crippled bro plane. The 2 proceeded on the long arduous trip to Medjugorje. At the foot of the Cross Mountain Lance heard a man talking English and asked for his help. The man was Martin Glaze. Doctor. Woods and film star Glaze carried Brian up the rough mountain in a special chair. The young man who couldn’t walk had overcome another major challenge by reaching the top of the mountain with assistance from his brother, Martin Glaze and the requests of the family. This account of the story was carried globally last year on the internet site Spirit Daily.com and was broadcast on the radio show “As the Spirit Leads.” Following his trip to Medjugorje more miracles commenced to occur,writes tagza.com.
