Slideshow of the 10 Mile Parrot Walk on Memorial Day

These are a series of slides taken before, during and after the Parrot Walk on May 28th, 2012. The walk was to raise funds for the birds at "A Refuge for Saving the Wildlife" and there was quite a corps of enthusiastic humans and birds who braved the 90 degree heat to make the event a great success. (Our staff was taking bets that I would not make the full ten miles...but I did, as well as the other walkers).

Thanks to the donors, walkers and volunteers who helped to make a difference for the birds at the shelter, as this is what it is all about.

The song selected for the slideshow soundtrack is "You Raise Me Up" by Josh Groban and is very fitting, especially so as he grew up in the northern suburbs of Chicago, not far from the Refuge.

You may contact the Refuge at www.rescue the birds.org.

  1. Herpes Cure Testimony
    I was diagnose with Genital Herpes for the past 2 years and I have been searching for cure. I have several outbreaks on my back and it really affected me morally, I read a testimony on this platform of a lady from Nevada who was cured from Diabetes with doctor Voke Herbal medicine including the doctor official email address. I contacted the doctor through his email, after much discussion and few questions he prepared the Herbal medicine and asked for my address which I received the Herbal medicine 3 days later and with his prescription I drank the Herbal medicine for 21 days. After concluding the herbal medicine I went for test and my IgG result was confirmed Negative with no trace of the virus on my blood. Contact doctor Voke and be cured his email; (doctorvoke@yahoo.com)

  10. GET YOUR EX LOVER BACK.

    This is my testimony of life that I will tell everyone. I have been married for 25 years Another woman had a spell to get me away from my lover, My husband left me and the children and we suffered for 2 years until I saw post about where this man Dr Omokpo has helped so many people recover their broken marriages and relationships to get their ex lovers back.
    I decided to give him a message about my family and how my husband left me for him to help me bring back my loving husband home, This great man told me what to do and I followed him as he instructed. After 48 hours, as he told me, I saw a car enter the compound. I was shocked when I saw my husband. As I share my testimony with you my husband came back to me and the kids and that's why I'm happy to put all of you in the same situations to meet this man for solutions to your problem and bring your lover back to you and mend your broken marriage or your relationship restored back to happiness as you wished. Contact this great man on: dromokpo@gmail.com

  16. Herbal treatment is 100% guaranteed for HSV cure, the reason why most people are finding it difficult to cure HSV is because they believe in medical reports, drugs and medical treatment which is not helpful to cure HSV. Natural roots/herbs are the best remedy which can easily eradicate herpes forever. i never thought i could ever get cured of herpes not until i met dr Okhai, i have used several drugs up to no avail, the symptoms keeps increasing at a certain time i couldn't seat in public with people the itching was much that it became embarrassing . My story changed when I came across dr.OKhai herbal post online. At first I was scared not to fall victim again because several fake herbal doctors had collected money from me and nothing happened. I didn't even see the herbal medicine nor did I get cured. So i summoned courage and i contacted him and within 4 days i receive the herbal medicine, prescription on how to use it was in it , i used it as prescribed for 18days and after 2days i went for test and herpes was no more, im so happy for the past 3yrs i have been living in pains. please if you are still out there suffering from herpes or any other form of infection i indulge you to contact dr Okhai and be healed so you can live your normal life again. You can reach him on drokhaiherbalhome@gmail.com or whatsapp ;+2347017709481
