World-improvers,
   Half this list is already on our stair-climbing team, but for the rest 
of you:  We have a 35-person team -- Ann Arbor Ascension -- that is 
competing for the 4th year in the Hustle up the Hancock in Chicago, a 
94-story race, attracting 3000 competitors, that raises money for the 
American Lung Association.  The ALA funds cancer and asthma research and 
supports environmental and anti-smoking efforts (thanks in part to the ALA 
Chicago has joined the rapidly growing list of places where you can't hire 
employees to work somewhere filled with second-hand smoke).  I think it's 
a highly worthy charity and if you want to contribute to our fundraising, 
go here

  or google ann arbor ascension
and click on one of our names on the donation page, or "general team
donation".

Thanks everyone!

Danny

PS, even more exciting, we may have a free spot if you want to join the 
team!  You don't have to be in shape for it -- it's a fun weekend in Chicago 
regardless.  Let me know if you're intrigued and I'll send you more info.
