Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 794 | Jerry, this is such a good way to have a bit more fun giving to this organization that has given so very much to each of us. It gave me the boost to finally get out the checkbook and get a donation made.....something I have been meaning to do for many months. I sent my donation to your office. (Jerry's address is at the beginning of this "string.") Put my name on some of your steps, please! I wish I could come to walk them for myself. XO

Thank you. Please tell your brother that a former New Yorker (born & raised in Brooklyn) will be proudly carrying his picture through Central park and the streets of Harlem with hundreds of supporters.
I hope you can make it to the walk and that we can meet. I will email you a picture of my wife and me, so that if you are there, you can look for us.

Thanks for reminding me. I keep forgetting to remove it. That was a link to Rosie's fundraising through Parade Magazine.
