Woman With Multiple Sclerosis Encourages Giving

September 8, 2008

A woman suffering from multiple sclerosis is using her Web site, 29gifts.org, to encourage people to give their money and time to help others, reports the San Francisco Chronicle.

Cami Walker engaged in a ritual of giving 29 gifts away over 29 days to take her mind off her sickness and despair. When she found that the ritual made her feel better, she created her Web site to challenge 2,000 people to perform the giving ritual, reports the newspaper. So far, more than 1,300 people have pledged to make such efforts.
