One Mile for Love, founded by Jiayi Bu, is an organization that raises awareness for the families of ill, injured and wounded service members. As students at leading universities, we harness the energy of the youth by involving them in walking one mile for love, to demonstrate that very small acts of giving, can have a substantial impact in inspiring Love and how we care for each other as a society. We are firmly rooted in the belief that acts of Good, whether small or large, have a transformative effect on society. It is the family of wounded and ill service members that we support.
We raise awareness and funds for Fisher House Foundation, an A+ rated charity (fisherhouse.org) that provides lodging for the families of wounded, ill and injured service members while their loved ones are being treated.
Participants in One Mile for Love can donate funds, airline miles or hotel points directly to Fisher House Foundation and receive a receipt for their donation.

The BLM Wyoming Cody Field Office hosted volunteers to remove net-wire fence and replace it with barbed and smooth-wire fence in order to help pronghorn and mule deer migration.
“It was a great time with lots of smiles and enthusiasm,” said BLM Outdoor Recreation Planner Nancy Patterson. “About 47 folks removed 1.75 miles of network fence!”
The Cody Field Office thanks all the volunteers who spent the day with us. Partners included The Nature Conservancy, which brought a Montana Conservation Corps crew to help; Sunlight Sports, which provided snacks and water; and Marathon Oil, which hauled-off all the netwire and took it for recycling. Folks from Trout Creek Ranch, Winding Pathways of Cedar Rapids and the MCC crew volunteered to be small group leaders and help teach others to fence. In addition to interested community members, volunteers from Wyoming Migration Initiative, Absaroka Outdoor Fellowship, Greater Yellowstone Coalition, Northwest Outdoor Club, Shoshone NF, Cody Next Generation, and Buffalo Bill Center of the West all volunteered to help.

The fourth grade students, their teacher, BLM and State Park staff.
Fifty-three students and teachers from the Caliente Elementary School’s 4th, 5th, and 6th grade classes participated in a National Public Lands Day Event hosted at Kershaw Ryan State Park by the Caliente Field Office of the Bureau of Land Management and Nevada Division of State Parks staff.
This year’s even featured an education station where students learned about the importance of rock art in the region, and how they can help protect it. They learned how Biologist and Range Staff use observation and math skills to collect data to see how healthy our public lands are. They were able to talk with Local BLM Wildland Firefighters and learn about the trucks and equipment that they use to manage wildfires and the importance of being careful with fire. Students took a short hike in the canyons of Kershaw Ryan State Park, where they learned about ways they can observe and enjoy our public lands.
Finally, everyone participated in a project to restore a portion of the park that is infested with Russian Thistle, a highly invasive weed in the area. Students, teachers, BLM and State Parks staff worked together to spread native seeds in an area near the front of the park. This project will help native plants out compete the invasive weeds, and provide edible plants for local wildlife.

6 years ago today, on a hike, I found out my sister lost her battle with cancer. On that hike, I saw the biggest buck I had ever seen. He was spectacular.
My sister loved the outdoors & wildlife She was also the kind of person that would give the shirt off her back to help anyone So it was only fitting that today I helped volunteer at an abandoned hop farm. Netting was still in place & deer are getting stuck & dying. It was a little disturbing to see the remnants of deer, but gratifying to know I was making a difference.

World famous tenor Russell Watson dropped in to meet a group of young people at Swinton Police Station back in 2002.
He gave up his time to meet one of the groups taking part in Greater Manchester Police's "Make A Difference" challenge.
As part of the scheme the group would undertake a project to improve community life in their area.
The scheme was also designed to develop life skills and help build self confidence.
Russell was raised in nearby Irlam and was only to happy to lend his support.
Russell rose to fame a few years earlier - after several years singing in clubs - when he was asked to sing the National Anthem at the Rugby League Challenge Cup Final at Wembley Stadium and to sing a number of songs at the 1999 UEFA Champions League Final in Manchester United's treble winning season.
He continues - despite two major health scares in the recent years - to be a hugely popular singer on the wold stage to this day.
From the collection of the Greater Manchester Police Museum.
