Participated in the 45th (my 22nd) Walk for Hunger this year. Here's my synopsis:
It was a sunny but not-hot-at-all day on Sunday, as
we've often gotten this Spring, and that was perfect weather for walking.
The Spring flowers were popping up everywhere and it's always a great
time of year to see the neighborhoods of Greater Boston.
At the start I detoured up
Boylston street rather than sticking to the route up Comm Ave, and stopped at
the memorial to the Marathon tragedy that's sprung up at Copley Square.
It's bigger than I thought, hundreds and hundreds of caps, stuffed animals,
running shoes, flowers, cards, etc. It was very moving, especially in the
early morning (6:45 or so) on a Sunday, with the rising sun lighting up Trinity
Church and the Boston Public.
The participant turnout and the
total raised for the Walk was a little lower than average this year, probably
because people had other opportunities for contributing to the community.
So your contributions meant even more than normal. Thanks again!
