We got into the Hike-a-Thon as something our company could participate in, and it’s been a great team-building thing. We formed a team, and that got so big we had to form a second team and then a third. We started spreading the news a little wider, and we let several of our business partners know about it. I was blown away by their generosity. It kind of hit a cord with some of the folks.
