I Got 99 Problems and Giving is One....

I figured I'd keep the title of this post in line with the current Jay Z theme. heheh....  Giving aint easy, lemme tell you.  I guess I had hoped that if I opened myself up to the possiblities of giving and helping my fellow man that the opportunities would just present themselves, but I find myself having to be way more pro-active than I had imagined.  Anyway, my food/ toiletry drive was a resounding success!   Well at least I filled up the two boxes that I had set up outside my office.  Once one person put some things in the box, then others followed suit (felt the pressure) and made their contributions as well.  It was very nice to see the boxes filling up as the days and the weeks progressed.  The next step is to bring it on down to Reading, PA.  I am interested to see what the most poverty stricken city in the United States looks like.
To keep the giving momentum going I am running a half marathon this weekend.  The proceeds of the donations raised will go to help build wells in Africa.  I got into the donation raising a little late, but hopefully I will at least hit the $100 dollar mark in donations.
