Hey guys, thanks for coming to my fundraising page! I'm doing this year's BARCC walk in honor of the magnificent Bean, who has done the walk in the past but now lives on the wrong coast to participate. BARCC is probably one of the single greatest things to ever exist in the greater Boston area; we should all be so thankful to have this service available. So let's raise some money to help them provide their fantastic services:

$25 helps BARCC answer two hotline calls.
$75 pays for medical accompaniment to a hospital emergency room by a trained volunteer.
$200 supports the first three sessions of free counseling for survivors and their families.
$1,000 allows a new volunteer or intern to attend BARCC’s comprehensive training program.

FirstGiving is a totally great company, so you can feel safe and secure making your donations through this page (plus, for extra greatness, they're a Davis Square business--how cool is that?). Please send along the information to anyone who might be interested in helping out as well.

What would be even better would be if you signed up and walked with me! I'm getting together a great group of people and we'll have tons of fun all while helping out BARCC.

And, if you aren't familiar with BARCC, please check out their website (www.barcc.org). Everyone in the Boston metro area should be aware of BARCC and the services they provide. Even if you don't need them, you may know someone who does.

Thank you!
