Let me answer why there is no catch.
(Btw, we so wish we could look you straight in the eye when we say this)
Our entire staff either thrives on seeing people happy, lost a close relative to disease, or takes care of people that are not as happy as they could be, or all the above.
All the above.
We knew that something had to change and it was killing us inside to watch it continue without a plan. Absolutely killing us inside (he's repeating himself a lot this morning).
So, out of frustration, came a plan. We piloted it, and it worked. We piloted it in this city and in that city - and it worked. It worked, it worked, it worked.
We were so lucky, so fortunate. This plan was a gift.
The communities loved it, the doctors loved it - and it filled a large void. And it continues to get stronger with every day that passes.
Only with the help of our current sponsors, who believed in us when we were only at one park, can we do it for free.
When it comes down to it, we're actually very greedy. We want new sites so bad it hurts. They are coming in daily and they are like a drug. New sites = new happy.
That's why we give away tons of shirts, pedometers, our "IP", you name it. Because we can and we know the more we give away, the more likely you are to become part of the team. Then together, with a tiny leap of faith, we can change the game - the right way.
If you have ever wanted to make a difference (not all of us do), please trust us - this is it.
