[at-l] Hiking for causes.

[bleederguy@xxxxxxxxxxxx (bleederguy)]

I should thank you.  I worked for Project Hope
http://www.nationjob.com/showcomp.cgi/prjh.html  for two years in the late
Sixties as a nurse. The money people raised helped a lot. Later I worked for
the "WHO"& the International Red Cross that also used gifts of charity from
countries, companies and individuals.  I not sure how these organizations
would do their work if it were not for begging.  Remember, taking care of
people is on the bottom of the list of all countries.

I learned long time ago to say no, change the channel and hang up and not
feel guilty.  Pan handling is pan handling even if it is done by a fellow
hiker.

My first introduction to long-distance walkers was in the early 70's when my
brother and many, many thousands of others walked 20 (25?) miles around
Rochester for the "Hike for Hope".  The Hope being the SS Hope hospital
ship.  They did this for a number of years, and had other big-time
fundraisers of a similar nature, like a 10-mile "Walk for Water".   They
raised a ton of money.  Anyone on the list get ever participate in one of
those?
