ROCK PAPER OR SCISSORS: Paper
"To have laughed often and much; won the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; earned the appreciation of honest critics and endured the betrayal of false friends; appreciated beauty; found the best in others; left the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden, or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded."
While working for CVS Corporation, I also started to participate in their yearly 5k, then attracting about 5,000 people...In 2009, they hit the 10,000 mark for participation. The money they get from registration goes to a number of charities, schools and other public service programs.
I also started walking in the, "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer" and "Junior Diabetes Research Foundation" walks, both in Providence every Fall. This October will be my first year walking for the "Gloria Gemma Breast Cancer Resources Foundation".

WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR ME:
I don't deserve a vote any more than anyone else here on this site. But I do feel that all of us here, taking time from a world now defined by distorted notions of self importance, instant gratification and a poor economy, trying to make a better world through our varied interests and passions, makes us a very special group of people that can reawaken the altruism gene.
I am proud to be part of the Crowdrise nation.

Happy April, CR friend!
Reader to Reader is auctioning off some great artwork to raise funds for our many international programs, thanks to our friends at the ART4GOOD Foundation. If you like art, books, or education, stop by and take a look at the 35 beautiful pieces available! http://bit.ly/HjFtMO
You get a beautiful piece of art, and RTR can:
-provide special education programs for children in the Dominican Republic;
-teach women to read in Nigeria;
-keep abandoned children in childhood through reading and improve theater in rural China;
-sponsor Haitian kids to finish school;
-continue to grow our public library in a coffee-farming Costa Rican village;
AND support many other programs that do wonderful work in India, Mexico, Nicaragua, Kosovo, Ghana and other countries.
If art isn’t your thing, you can still support our programs by donating or joining our team. Take a look at my projects to see more of what we do.
All the best, and HAPPY READING,
Kat
