The 2013 Walk for American Red Cross is finished, but
...the Heroes campaign still has a couple of weeks. Gifts, online or in person, can still be made. Over the course of the seven-day walk, I logged 96 miles through nine counties and 13 cities/towns. Between the coffee shops we visited in the mornings, the places we finished midday, and the businesses where I bussed tables each night - people could not have been more supportive!! Many had personal stories of how the Red Cross had helped them or someone they knew.
The month of March isn't over yet. Please help with a donation and share this page with others who could also support the campaign.

About the American Red Cross
Since its founding in 1881 by visionary leader Clara Barton, the American Red Cross has been the nation's premier emergency response organization. As part of a worldwide movement that offers neutral humanitarian care to the victims of war, the American Red Cross distinguishes itself by also aiding victims of devastating natural disasters. Over the years, the organization has expanded its services, always with the aim of preventing and relieving suffering.
Today, in addition to domestic disaster relief, the American Red Cross offers compassionate services in five other areas: community services that help the needy; support and comfort for military members and their families; the collection, processing and distribution of lifesaving blood and blood products; educational programs that promote health and safety; and international relief and development programs.
The American Red Cross is where people mobilize to help their neighbors?across the street, across the country, and across the world?in emergencies. Each year, in communities large and small, victims of some 70,000 disasters turn to neighbors familiar and new?the more than half a million volunteers and 35,000 employees of the Red Cross. Through over 700 locally supported chapters, more than 15 million people gain the skills they need to prepare for and respond to emergencies in their homes, communities and world.

The American Red Cross is not a government agency and all Red Cross disaster assistance is free thanks to the generosity of people like you. The value of your donation is increased by the fact that the ratio of volunteer Red Cross workers to paid staff is more than 15 to 1. Contributions to the American Red Cross, a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, are deductible for computing income and estate taxes.
