The runners (and walkers) get sponsors to donate money to the charity, and entrance fees go to thw cause as well. All entrants get a T shirt, and there are usually awards for various classes of finishers. Your subject might have received the shirt as a gift . . . When I was at United Way, when we had left-over shirts after one of our runs, we donated them to groups who distributed them to their efforts either home or abroad. Number 484 is my son Adam, (Now a hotel manager) in a fun run many years ago. https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/58764_1636380712413_1323582219_31673747_7115605_n.jpg small url <https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/58764_1636380712413_1323582219_31673747_7115605_n.jpg> On Fri, Feb 3, 2012 at 10:07 PM, Jayanand Govindaraj <jayanand at gmail.com>wrote: > A couple of days ago I went for a walk to try and photograph birds in a > notified wetland that surrounds my house from the road, as no visitors are > allowed inside the protected area.
