Walk-a-thon for Jordan Wabasse“Well, I am up and just about ready to face what today will bring me. All in all, I am not worried about myself, because today is not about ME but for the family of Jordan Wabasse. Please stop and think about what the parents, and other immediate families are goin’ through because they don’t know where their son, nephew, grandson, uncle & friend is”, shares Beardy on her Knet website.

“From the goodness of my own heart, I am strongly determined to do this and if you don’t see fit than don’t come with me. Anyway, I better get ready here and start packin’ up my general neccessities, me don’t wanna starve out there so I’m well prepared :). So, in other words, I hope & pray that I will get “THE” support from the community and the surrounding communities, so wish me luck, that I will come back and cross the finish line”.

Support from across the North has been continuing, without any sign of it abating.
