cocheese 0 #1 October 4, 2007 What good does the walking part do? Seems like there is a better use of energy after the donations have been made. I know it brings some awareness, but i think all the energy and time could be used for something more useful. Any ideas instead of just walking? Please don't flame me. I mean no harm. Trying to do good here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VanillaSkyGirl 6 #2 October 4, 2007 It's supposed to be making a united statement. It's also a way that virtually anyone can be involved. I could probably sign up for and punch out a marathon, but many might not be able to do that kind of physical activity. With a walk, people of all ages and in various conditions can join together. I've heard that it's also a time for quiet reflection for the people who have lost their lives while battling the illness (AIDS, breast cancer, etc.) The end of the breast cancer 60-mile Walk was a much quieter time for everyone. We felt exhausted. It definitely made reflecting much more powerful. Throughout the whole thing, I did think of those affected by breast cancer, and I'm sure that the AIDS Walk will be a time to remember and focus on those affected by AIDS. It's pretty difficult to think of anything else, during those walks. Does that answer your question, Jeffy? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
