I’ve been thinking, yes some of my closer friends may debate whether or not that happens very often, and I concluded I suck! Please excuse my french, but seriously, look around and see how much everyone is doing for the people suffering over in Haiti and then look at me twittering about joy-walks through the park, twittering from my fancy shmanzy iPhone.
So okay, here’s the Stefan take on doing something about it! “The Grand River Trail walk for Haiti”
We will all meet up and walk down the Grand River Trail from Kiwanis Park in Waterloo, down to Bingemans Park in Kitchener.
Here’s the link to the KW – Walk for Haiti Facebook event
To contact me: My cell phone is 519.580.0699
When: Saturday January 30 2010 12 PM – NOON
From: Kiwanis Park – Waterloo
To: Bingemans Park – Kitchener
Distance: roughly 8 kilometres (5 miles)
What do we do: Walk
Purpose: Fund Raiser for Haiti
Wear RED! If at all possible, please wear a RED jacket or shirt or pants …or scarf or hat to show solidarity with the Haiti people and the Canadian Red Cross. Thank you =)
Here is a map of our walk (the trail drawn on the map is not 100% accurate, we will be following the Grand River Trail which can be found on the Grand River Transit public transportation maps):

Before we start the walk, I will log in to the Red Cross Canada web site and make a donation with my own credit card in value of the amount of money that we manage to raise.
For those who would rather make a donation themselves, here is the Red Cross Canada Link
