Do any of you kind people have a couple of thousand dollars, or the equivalent in another freely negotiable currency, or any smaller amount, burning a hole in your pocket? This is a serious question.

If you do, fellow coast-to-coast walker Stuart Hamilton could put it to good use. Remember he was diagnosed with testicular cancer just before he went home to England for a winter break? Well, he's fine now, and he and Dave are about to resume their walk. He explains here why he could really use the money. If you can spare something, please contact him direct. I cannot imagine a better cause, or a nicer person, to donate your hard-earned readies to.
