Earlier in the afternoon before the concerts they do a mile walk close to the venue. It is because their last album was called The Walk, and they have partnered with a company called Toms Shoes, for every pair of Toms Shoes bought at the merch. booth at the show ordered from Hanson's website another pair is donated to a child in Africa. They encourage you to take the walk barefoot(some do some don't), basically walking a mile like some of the children in Africa have to walk all day every day in hopes that will be incentive for you to purchase a pair of shoes. It's done pretty good so far because they've already sold over 50,000 pairs. Anyway, before the walk, midway through it and again at the end they(usually always Taylor) give a speech on the reason for the walk. Here are some vid clips I got of his midway walk speech in Falls Church. He's longwinded so I couldn't hold my camera still long enough to get it all so that's why it's in clips. Part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0791AZ4A90 Part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CVFoJ7XCJ8 Part 3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6w8LWpfses8 Part 4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6-uNjw3fCw Part 5 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSo02ryNOmS Hope you all enjoy these.

It's sad to hear, that there are a lot of places in the world where the people are not as fortunate as us! We think we have it bad, but there are others that suffer more multifold!
