300 DAYS: THURSDAY MAY 27, 2010
Dear Friends and Supporters,
Thursday marks 300 days that Shane, Sarah, and Josh have been held in detention in Iran. We don’t want this day to go by unnoticed as Thursday marks 300 days that we have not been able to spend with our loved ones. While the mothers were visiting them in Iran, Shane asked my sister, Nicole, and I to take a day off from our efforts to secure his release and enjoy ourselves. He asked that we write to him in detail about this day because reading our letters allows him to escape prison in his mind.
We, the families, are asking that all of you take a day for yourselves this Thursday, May 27 and document it for Shane, Sarah, and Josh. At the end of the day, you can share your stories, pictures, and videos on the Free the Hikers blog at http://blog.freethehikers.org/.
Please join our blog and create a profile via the ‘Community’ tab at the top of the page in order to post directly. If you have difficulty doing so please contact farah@freethehikers.org.
We know that Shane, Sarah, and Josh would love to be with all of you enjoying your experiences on the 300 day mark but for now they live through your words and support.
Sincerely,
Shannon Bauer (Sister of Shane Bauer)
