Someone tell me to let this go. I'm standing in my kitchen crying as I got this news. Everytime I read something about this story I start to cry.

Right to Hike, Inc. has been created in honor, so to speak, of Meredith Emerson. It's a non profit organization with two goals: promotion of hiking safety and a memorial scholarship for study abroad.

They are having a fundraising event in Atlanta on June 25th with some local Applebee's; applications can be found here http://www.righttohikeinc.com/.

If you've been a reader here, you know how strongly I feel on this subject. And it really isn't just about Meredith, it's about everyone's right to enjoy their right to live. To breathe and walk around and not live in fear of being molested! Of having your life taken from you by some terrible thing that masquerades as a man but is really a monster? Ah, what evil walks among us.

Please visit the site, please visit the foundation. Also, the Humane Society has a fund set up in honor of Ella that takes care of foundling dogs....
