I'd like to pass on information about the first ever national Earth Day walkathon ("Making the Link") sponsored by the Washington, DC nonprofit group, "Center for Health, Environment and Justice" (CHEJ.org). NFI
If you have a local group that you think would be interested, please pass this information on, and of course consider getting involved yourself, as this pertains to what each of us deals with every day.
Note also -- 75% of the money raised would go to your own group.
If you'd like to take on the Making the Link event, or read more information, please visit:
http://www.chej.org/walkathon/"Our environment plays an important role in our health. The first annual Making the Link Walkathon is unifying groups' voices and raising awareness across the nation about "the link" between environmental contaminants and the rising incidence of serious health problems in America. Through Making the Link, thousands of walkers nationwide are making the case for taking precautionary action to win back a safe, healthy world and prevent environmentally-linked illnesses before they occur. Health-threatening chemicals are all around us - in the air we breathe, the food we eat and the water we drink. Here is our chance to come together and make change happen! Join with us by participating in a Making the Link Walkathon in your area ".
