Story from the Heart: Charles Read, June 2018
We were honored to be in the presence of community champions who came together to share their stories about the importance of eating healthy and drinking water. These community leaders inspire and motivate us and others in our community to do the same! Charles has a powerful testimony complete with passion and inspiration. We are thankful that they were able to spend their day with us.
