We Be Illin' Event - "Limp-a-thon"

I received an email today about an event in NYC that I wish I was well enough to attend. The following is the text from the email.

Limp-a-thon!! We might run if we had better healthcare...

If you are a person without health insurance and you get sick, it's as if your government has punched you in the leg 200 times. That doesn't feel good. And, it would leave you with a pretty nasty limp. To make that point clear, please join us for We Be Illin's first ever "Limp-a-thon"!!

We will meet at Piano's (158 Ludlow, NYC) at 3:00pm on Sunday, Nov. 4th. The limp will begin at 3:30. We will limp to Thompkins Square Park where the Limp Off will take place! Limpers will be judged on originality, style, and believability. Winning limpers will win prizes as well as the jealousy of their peers. The finish line is at The Lakeside Tavern (162 Ave B) where we will enjoy drink specials after our long journey, some tunes, the company of friends, and support from We Be Illin.

The necessary rules are:

-no blocking sidewalk traffic!! We must limp 2x2 and in a straight line..we need no trouble with our nice but law enforcing local police!
-we cannot carry wooden sticks or weapons, we are not rioting, we are simply limping!
-you must follow directions from the nurses at all times!

So please help us spread the word about our need for every American to have health insurance by showing what its like to not have it. Lets limp it out…together!

If you are in the area stop by and support the effort. Those of us that need the help will appreciate it. Here is the link to the website http://www.webeillin.org/.
