Here is the original email that was sent out by Melissa Nicoletti:
Hidy-Ho Everyone!
I hope this email finds you all just peachy. I feel like I haven't spoken with some of you guys in decades, but others, well......just kidding. Well I'm actually mass emailing ya'll for a reason, so here it is i'll just cut to the chase:
My mom and I, while dragging my sis and dad along, have set out to participate in the Walk for Hunger here in Boston. It is a 20 mile walk on May 2nd that helps feed the homeless here in MA. I realize this is not directly feeding the mouths of those in SC and wherever else you guys are, but indirectly it is. It is helping our fellow Americans, and that goes much further! There are many families that are starving all over the country, as many of you know so I will not lecture, but I will throw out a fact, one in three children in MA are in a family that struggles to put food on the table everyday. Can you imagine that? I sure cannot, so that is why I have decided to participate in this. It's such a wicked awesome event where over 40,000 people will descend on the streets of Boston on May 2nd to help those that are not as fortunate as we are. Since God gave me working legs and great health, I feel I should put it to good use and I'm very lucky to be able to do this with my family none the less! Of course my mom and I are telling my dad and sister, Katie, that it is only 10 miles- ssshhh they'll never know until it's too late ;) Anyhoo, we plan on raising $500- there is no set amount that we have to raise, but I am asking for each one of to help us in this. I know that pretty much all of you have like no money, but even a few dollars will help! $125 can help feed 250 homeless people with soup and a sandwich- amazing what we take for granted! So, even if you only have $1 to spare, ANYTHING helps, I mean it. You can either pledge me a certain amount for each mile or just a total pledge. I really really appreciate it. Oh and I know that some of you are training for a tournament and doing your own fundraisers, so I'm sorry for asking this at such an unopportune time, but honestly, when is this ever opportune? It sure isn't for those families dying of hunger, literally, as I write this.
So here are the details- to pledge online:

I need all pledges by April 30th please! Remember, ANYTHING helps, even as little as it seems- and next time you find yourself eating a nice hearty meal, you can smile knowing you helped others, who haven't enjoyed a good meal in a long time!
Truly, thank you all for even considering this- there are so many people that will benefit from this, trust me, I walk by many of them everyday.
God bless you all and I hope, for those still in school, that you have a wonderful rest of the semester and lotsa luck with exams!!!! Oh and if you have any questions just shoot me an email! Praises to you all!
