Checks!

I just wanted my fellow walkers and walk supporters to know that in addition to the funds we've raised online ($2,211 as of right now), our efforts have helped to generate an additional $925 in checks that have come through the mail. I'm not counting that towards our 300 Miles goal because I really want to see the meter on our GiveForward site hit 100%. We've been stuck at 8% since Tuesday, but I have hope things will pick up soon. We can do it!

Amendment: I should also point out that a lot of wonderful people have sent much needed items - camera, water filter, gift cards, and so on. I did not mean to diminish or discount the value of any such donations, or the donations made by check. But since there is no way for me to know which of these acts of generosity were specifically inspired by the 300 Miles effort, I am leaving them out of the "funds-raised-by-supporters-of-300-Miles" total. If anybody who sent a check wishes to be included in that total, please send me an email and I will gladly count it toward our goal! A million thanks!
