Our New Face of Fitness clothing drive for C.H.I.C. was the best ever! (Aileen said!) Together, we truly do make a difference!

I am soo thrilled to be part of such a wonderful family, our New Face of Fitness really is--a warm and caring family!

I dedicate the following piece to Aileen and her cause:

Clothing Her In Courage- by D. Hakala

We see you there-
draped in bruises--hiding behind the pain

if you'd only leave--why don't you leave?
it's so easy to say that--it can be life threatening too-

We see you there-
scared to death---not wanting to play the game

What about the little ones--why don't you leave?-
it's so easy to say that-really, what will she do?

We see you there,
broken and burned--no where to turn---lost and concerned

We will help you!
we will make a road-
we will find a way
we will help carry the load-

Hope will cover you like a warm robe
HELP will lift you above the dismay

Courage will be your new clothes-
LOVE will bring you to a NEW day-

We have only to believe, to achieve!
