Anyone have any extra donations they can spare?
(Preview)
Fellow walkers I am short about $300 and was wondering if anyone has any extra donations they can offer. This is my 6th year walking and it seems to be getting harder and harder to reach the $2000 mark. Any help anyone can offer would be great.

Are speakers ok. Or do they bother people. I find good music can really help through the hard times. What are your view point?

Nervous first year walker
(Preview)
This is my first year walking and I am walking alone and I am starting to get a bit nervous now. So I am hoping maybe there is someone who wouldn't mind some company to walk with. I'm a medium paced walker I guess I average about 5.5k/hr on my practice walks most of the time. I'm walking both days. Thanks...

Will they have a list of names of people who've registered already to tick off? Can't see that working given how crazy things can get down there. Anyone know or should I phone a coach?
