mellowtiggerMinneapolis in May is very predictable. The snow is finally gone, the weather is consistently warm, and everyone's been cooped up inside for too many months with lots of pent up energy waiting to be unleashed. So we walk. We walk each weekend, rain or shine, with fundraisers for various charitable organizations.
It's this same lineup every year, though I'm probably forgetting some other prominent fundraisers. This year, I'll be participating in the "Walk for Animals" in Golden Valley. (There's another event at the St. Paul shelter for those on the other side of the Mississippi River.)
weekend 1: Animal Humane Society and multiple sclerosis research
weekend 2: Susan G Komen breast cancer research
weekend 3: Minnesota AIDS Project
weekend 4: American Heart Association
I'm very low key about this stuff. Mostly I do it just to have fun with my own contribution, not to coerce other people into handing over their wallets. *grin* Considering the state of the economy, I'm assuming that most people are on budgets as restricted as my own. But, if anyone has money to burn, consider burning it in honor of one of the above charities that try to make the world a little bit better. If you'd like to use it for the non-human critters, I've created my personal webpage with the fundraiser. You can donate online via credit card. You can make your donation anonymous too, which I like, since I'm certainly not doing this project as a contest.
