Meet the speakers for our 6th Annual Rockford Walk for Life and Family!

We are excited to introduce two of the speakers for our 6th Annual Rockford Walk for Life & Family!

In a culture that increasingly rejects the sanctity of life, these two young leaders are courageously standing for truth in our community and carrying forward the mission of pro-life leader Charlie Kirk by boldly engaging the next generation.

We will hear from Elyse Sardegna, a missionary with Biking for Babies. Each summer, young adults bike more than 100 miles a day for six days to raise awareness and support for pregnancy resource centers while spreading the Gospel of Life. Come hear Elyse share about her experience, mission, and witness for life.

We will also hear from Jayden Gallagly, candidate for Boone County Board, student leader, president of the Rockford-area Turning Point USA chapter, and founder of Students for Illinois. Jayden has been active in grassroots organizing, civic engagement, and encouraging young people to become involved in defending faith, family, and life.

Jayden shared this message with us:

“It will be a true honor and privilege to speak at the Rockford Walk for Life and Family. I will always stand for the sanctity of life, the importance of strong families, and the values that strengthen our communities.”

We are incredibly proud of these young leaders and the witness they are providing for our community.

Please join us at the Rockford Walk for Life and Family to support and encourage them!
