i think i canyons

My wife and I volunteered this weekend for the charity bike ride benefiting the 4th street clinic. Last minute thing but it was very encouraging to meet the people in the race. Everyone of them were in it for two reasons and those reasons only. First, donations and advertisement of the 4th street clinic which helps destitute individuals receive various medical care for free, and second, self betterment. This is a small organization of people that decided to do what they love to benefit those with less. A small act of charity that has grown in it's second year by about 30%. 4 canyons in one day is unbelievable and the charity renewing. Utah should put more of emphasise around a larger database for these types of opportunities where people donate money to be a part of something fun and larger than themselves. It almost sounds like a fractured fraternity as people pay for casual friendship and interaction but for a good cause.
