The Walk is one man's attempt to some good for himself and for others. I had the idea in March to do a long distance walk. At the time, the idea was simply to give myself a goal to shoot for to motivate myself to get more exercise.
Then, I had the idea that if I could get all of my friends to pledge some money to me for completing The Walk, I could raise a little bit of money to help others. Which, in turn, also helps me, because it makes me feel like I have done something to make a difference.
Now, the idea is to expand the giving beyond my circle of friends. So, here's the deal....... On Saturday, November 3, 2001, I am taking The Walk. 15 miles. Can I do it? Part of me wants to say, "I don't know." But you know what? I can. Yes, I can. I am one tough S.O.B., and I can do anything I put my mind to. I hope you will put your mind to helping me out.
How can you help? By pledging money. $1, $5, any amount helps. Pledge a flat rate, or base it on the number of miles I complete. I WILL walk 15 miles. By helping me out, you will also be helping others. All proceeds will go to:
The September 11 Fund The September 11 Fund was set up to aid the families of the victims of the terrible tragedies that occurred that day. It is administered by The United Way, and every penny goes to the cause for which it was intended. Please help me to make a difference. |
