I've met a lot of people over the years during our annual child abuse prevention campaign. I don't think anyone REALLY understands outside of the participants what is really happening. Miracles are taking place each moment and that's not something you exploit.

Live for 175 isn't a publicity stunt, ploy to get press and ratings booster. It's real life. It's emotion. It's tragedy. It's redemption. It's resilience.

 

Today, I touched, listened and felt the impacts of child abuse. They call her "Anna Shakes."

I call her a HERO.
