We are thrilled to share that over $148,540 was raised at the Walk for Life. Because so many in our community decided to Join the Movement through generous giving, the funds raised will provide 123 women with The Pregnancy Network’s free services!
Over 500 participants took part in the event, both in person at Lawndale Baptist Church and virtually. This included an incredible team of 65 volunteers who helped to make this event a success.
We recorded this podcast LIVE at the GSO Walk For Life so enjoy a handful of interviews with walkers, volunteers, and staff as we bring you along with us for the 2021 GSO Walk For Life.

Meet Paula Peyton. Paula serves as the Executive Director for Hope after Rape Conception, a non-profit dedicated to assisting mothers who have suffered from rape. Paula’s story is extremely unique; her son was conceived as a result of gang rape, and she herself was also conceived as a result of rape. Her story has been featured by Live Action, Life Site News, and many more pro-life news sources.
Most women who receive abortions after rape report being forced or coerced into the decision against their will. Paula shares her firsthand account of the pressure she encountered to receive an abortion from the most unlikely places.
Paula’s story of healing and redemption is inspiring. If you or someone you know has suffered from a rape experience, know you are not alone. You can reach out to Paula by visiting hopeafterrapeconception.org, or by contacting The Pregnancy Network at thepregnancynetwork.org.
