Youth 10-2025

Dear young people, parents, teachers, school principals, administrators, presidents, pro-life leaders, campus ministers, religious education teachers, youth ministers, young adults, pastors, deacons and priests, and all others who work with young people…

I mourn for a man I never met but I felt connected to him in many ways because he believed in all the important values I believe in. And he was out there engaging with young people all over the United States and in other countries. Working with young people through LIFESPAN has been a huge blessing to me over the last 25 years. My heart and his heart shared that passion!

I admit I became weak in my resolve for a little while on Thursday morning as I was still trying to grasp the reality of what happened to Charlie Kirk the day before. I realized through interactions with some of the LIFESPAN Board Members that day, we cannot stop. We have to be in the public square defending the precious gift of Human Life from the moment of conception till natural death.

Charlie Kirk was a huge defender of Life and he would for sure want us at LIFESPAN to keep going on our bus trips and engaging with people in all ways possible…in kind and loving ways with Truth and Faith.

With that said, registration is open for the Right to Life – LIFESPAN Michigan March for Life Bus Trip that will take place on Thursday, November 6^th, in Lansing, and registration is open for the LIFESPAN Movement in Motion DC Bus Trip that will take place from Thursday-Saturday, January 22th-24^th, 2026.

Attached, you will find flyers for both of these bus trips with registration links and QR codes. You will also find an information page sharing the message from the National March for Life group about the upcoming Marches for Life in Lansing and in DC.

For the Michigan March for Life, registration will end on November 1^st.

For the DC March for Life, registration will end on November 15^th.
