In Boston alone, there seems to be a walk for every group with a worthy cause, including the 20-mile Walk for Hunger and the upcoming AIDS Walk next month. Despite the hundreds of miles and thousands of dollars that need to be raised, local charities say they have no problem recruiting walkers. Instead, it is the participants who have a difficult time choosing which charity to hit the pavement for. They like to know whether more of their money goes towards research or to education and services. There are people who participate in the walk yearly and raise thousands of dollars.
Many walkers also get into the spirit by forming teams.
Macy's department store in Salem, N.H. is gathering employees for the Aids Walk June 1st.
