Brian’s Walk
This Sat., 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 carpark. The once a year event funds grant money for local youth to attend Catholic high schools. This year $4,000 was 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 graduate 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 brief history of Brian’s wonderful bravery in life will evoke others to never give up hope and to achieve success in overcoming grief.
Brian beats leukemia
Brian Woods contracted leukemia at age 5. The whole community of Collings Lake led by the priest of the Catholic church took part in the first Brian’s Walk about 34 years ago to pray and raise money for the medical expenses. 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 disappeared. When the doctor re-examined Brian, he found no proof of the illness and informed the folks to stop treatment. The parents didn’t let him know they had stopped the medicine 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. But his body was very weakened by the illness and the treatment.
Brian defeats bacterial spinal meningitis
Brian later contracted another deadly illness, bacterial spinal meningitis. His folks was called to the hospice and told he wouldn’t survive the night. Brian’s mother told the doctor that she wouldn’t accept this. The family prayed all night . Brian survived the night and beat the devastating illness, again defying medical reason.
Brian then underwent a long operation to have a steel rod placed in his back.
Brian loses movement, although not hope and religion
Following graduation from Holy Spirit tragedy again struck. Brian’s body was so weakened that he lost the employment of his hands, legs and arms. There had been not a lot more medically that may be done for Brian. The insurance corporation would no longer continue to provide care since there was neither progress nor any medical hope for recovery since the muscles had wasted. But the Woods family continued to live on hope and prayer.
Martin Glaze carries Brian to the head of the mountain in Medjugorje.
Brian and his extraordinarily non secular family decided that he would go with his brother to Medjugorje in Croatia, a location of purported apparitions of the Sanctified Virgin Mary on a mountain in an out-of-the-way area of the former Yugoslavia.
Brian’s brother Doctor. Lance Woods met his dear 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 speaking English and asked for his assistance. The man was Martin Glaze. Doctor. Woods and film star Sheen carried Brian up the craggy 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 help from his brother, Martin Glaze and the prayers 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 started to occur,writes tagza.com.
