I could talk about my passion for ensuring equal access to nutritious, affordable food or about how proper nutrition is the building block for healthy citizens and a healthy society. I could go on and list statistics about hunger and school lunches, SNAP and the Summer Food Service Program, economic development and welfare programs. I could elaborate on a quote that inspires me to volunteer or about how The Walk for Hunger is a long-standing Boston tradition. But I think on the most basic, fundamental level, my motivation to walk is simple: I walk because other people endure circumstances that make it difficult for them to even fathom fundraising for anything besides their own livelihood.

Ignore painful memories of poorly bleached hair, fanny packs, and dying tamagotchis (relatedly, they usually died because you forgot to feed them...) and let Gregg Alexander of the New Radicals motivate you. After all, we only get what we give:
