Can one family of five, plus two grandparents, combine efforts and commit to one act of service each day, for one year? Paul, Patricia, twins Bianca & Olivia (age 18), Sophia (age 11), and their Nana and Buppa, plan to honor the 10 year anniversary of the loss of my sister with a year dedicated to service. Together, with maybe the help of a relative here or there, we will commit to 365 days of volunteering,contributing or supporting, in appreciation of what we have.... and who we have lost.

Day 150: Housing With Love Walk
Here on the Cape there is an annual walk that raises money for several agencies that are helping the homeless. This Housing With Love Walk route is about 104 miles, beginning in Provincetown and ending in Falmouth. The walk is held over a 7 days span and thousands of dollars are raised each year. According to a newspaper article (cited below), the walk raised $253,000 in 2010. While buying dinner groceries at Stop and Shop, we donated to the walk in the check-out line. The walk for 2011 was held on July 11th, but the HECH organization (Harwich Ecumenical Council for the Homeless) fundraises all year for the event. It is nice to be able to contribute to some causes here at the Cape even when we are on vacation...there is always something going on to help others!
