Hop to the Rescue - Help Feed Rescued Bunnies

Hop to the Rescue - Help Feed Rescued Bunnies

Feed a Rescued Bunny with Your Animal Rescue Site Order!

This Easter, help provide a brighter future for a rescued rabbit. Starting on March 21, 2008, and for a limited time, every completed Animal Rescue Site order will feed a rescued rabbit complete and balanced meals for one day -- at no additional cost to you!

Every spring in the U.S., thousands of bunnies are purchased as pets for children. However, many children eventually lose interest once the rabbit grows into adolescence -- including natural behaviors such as chewing, spraying, or digging -- and many rabbits are destined to be abandoned on the side of a road. The Rabbit Sanctuary, Inc. exists to rescue and care for these rabbits, as well as ones rescued from laboratories and commercial breeders.

Walking, Walking and More Walking

As part of my Weight Watchers efforts, I've been walking a mile to a mile and a half 3-4 days a week, sometimes more.

So, I've decided to put all this walking to good use. Normally, I would be walking in MS Walk NY in the spring. However, this year, it's scheduled for the same weekend as the "Being Fearless" conference that I normally volunteer at. So, I won't be able to walk in it this year.

However, I've found a few other walks that should keep me busy this spring:

The 2008 Parkinson's Unity Walk - This is scheduled for Saturday, April 26th. It's a two-mile walk to raise awareness of Parkinson's disease and funds for research.

AIDS Walk New York - Scheduled for Sunday, May 18th. It's a 10K (6.2 mile) walk benefiting GMHC (Gay Men's Health Crisis).

Walk Now for Autism - Scheduled for Sunday, June 22nd. It's a two-mile walk that helps generate vital funds for autism research, and also raises awareness about the increasing prevalence of autism and the need for increased research funding.

Your support, financial, moral or otherwise is, as always, greatly appreciated.
