What was the last action that you took to make the world a better place? Have you changed a life today? Have you saved the earth? There are many ways to change the world, and I'm sure you've done at least one this week. Perhaps you cheered up a friend or recycled your plastic. Maybe you inspired someone, somewhere, to do something great. Each of these actions will in fact make the world a better place, and that is simply amazing. I'd like to take a moment, however, to tell you about something even bigger: a way in which ordinary people come together and perform extraordinary feats. No, I'm not going to review NBC's new show, "Heroes." I'm going to tell you about the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer.

October is Breast Cancer Month, but Avon has kept busy all year long. Every year, the Avon Foundation sponsors a series of two-day, 39.2-mile walks throughout the United States. From Charlotte to the LA beaches to the Big Apple, thousands of men and women walk for something they believe in: the fight against breast cancer.

Gleny and I participate in the NY Walk every year, although one of these days we'd like to try another one. It all began in 2002, when I felt the urge to do something special. The Avon Walk seemed to be it. I believed in the cause, loved to walk, and was ready to give myself a new challenge to make a difference. I'll admit that I didn't train as much as I should have, but I worked my butt off fundraising, and by the time all was said and done, I had raised $2,122.00. After much preparation and hard work, the day arrived. So did the rain. To make a long (depressing) story short, the Rockland County Board of Health shut the walk down after fifteen women were taken to the ER due to hypothermia. We mourned the loss of our three-day, sixty-mile journey, but eventually accepted the fact that tit wasn't about the walk; it was about the money. And we sure had raised a ton of it! Over nine million dollars, if memory serves.

The next year, I somehow convinced Gleny to walk with me. Threats of Hurricane Isabella fell on deaf ears, and the weather was perfect. In addition to raising over $5,000.00 between the two of us, we completed the forty-mile trek (they shortened it that year). We laughed, we cried, and most of all, we stood up and made a difference.
Even with all that difference making, we decided that once was enough when it came to walking a marathon and a half over the course of one weekend. We're philanthropists, but come on! We're not crazy! Since 2003, Glen and I have accepted the role as Crew Team Leaders for the Avon Walk, which basically means that we act as leaders for our team (duh), which in this case is Hospitality. We'll spend the entire weekend in NYC cheering on and supporting the thousands of men and women who will join in the fight.
If you know someone involved in the Avon Walk, be sure to tell them how amazing they are. If they're walkers, that means that they've raised, at minimum, the $2,000.00 required to participate and will walk at least 26.2 miles in two days. If they're crew, they'll spend their entire weekend volunteering their time to pick up trash, feed and hydrate walkers, lift gallons of Gatorade, and smile for two days straight. The Avon Walk for Breast Cancer is an unbelievable event comprised of unbelievable individuals filled with unimaginable spirit and dedication. There's simply nothing like it in the world.

There were the first ever RICH and GLENY collaborated STUDIO SHOTS.. I think we did ok, HE took most of them, and I editted them down. Oh yeah, this is Rachel, she is kind of new, not always around, but she had a lot of tattoos. I figured they would work for Halloween. Oh yeah, she is platinum blonde and 6foot tall.. Not a bad combo right?
