Fannie Mae Help the Homeless Walk

I participated in the Fannie Mae Help the Homeless 5K walk in Washington, DC.  I will admit that when the day of the walk came around, I was not too excited about it.  Since it was in December, it was freezing cold outside and we had to be at the mall in Washington, DC, by 7:30 AM.  Frozen and tired is not my ideal way of spending a Saturday morning.  However, I knew that the walk would raise money for the homeless in DC and I believe that it is a very good cause.  Hopefully the money will go towards shelter, food, and clothes for the homeless.  I also think that since I was uncomfortable just during the 45 minutes or so of the walk, I developed a stronger sympathy for the homeless, who have to deal with these elements their whole lives.  I hope that my participation in the walk will help better the lives of the homeless.
