WALK FOR HUNGER at MCI Shirley

Dear readers, I NEED YOUR HELP

This letter is to ask you to pledge your support for me on Sunday May 6th as I will be participating in 'Walk for Hunger'. This is a fundraising walk run by Project Bread in Boston; MCI Shirley will be a satellite site and we will be able to walk in the prison yard from 9-11am and 1.30-4.30pm. The walk is 20 miles long and those walking in it get people to sponsor them by pledging an amount per mile walked or just a lump sum pledge. All the proceeds go to Project Bread and will be used to fund for food distribution to homeless shelters and food pantries in Massachusetts.

This is a good cause and I am glad to have the opportunity to participate in it and raise funds for the less fortunate of our society. I am hoping that you will sponsor me. If you do, after the walk I will tell you how many miles I walked and you will write a check to 'Project Bread' and note it is from sponsoring me on Walk for Hunger. Then mail the check or money order to:

Director of Treatment
WALK FOR HUNGER
MCI Shirley
P.O. Box 1218
Shirley, MA 01464

The institution will then forward all the money we raised in outside pledges and inmate pledges to Project Bread.

You can just pledge a lump sum and send it now, or you can challenge me to walk as many miles as I can by pledging a certain amount of per mile walked. For instance, if you pledge 50¢ per mile and I manage to finish all 20 miles, it will be a $10.00 donation you make, if you pledge $2.00 per mile, it would be $40.00 if I finish.

Please let me know as soon as possible as I have to submit my pledge sheet by the end of April. Thanks so much for your support and helping the less fortunate citizens in Massachusetts.
