<p>When I was 21, I lived in Natori, a small town just south of Sendai in Japan.&nbsp; I taught at the high school there.&nbsp;Everywhere I went, people were kind to me - going out of their way to help out the gaijin (foreigner) who always looked so confused.&nbsp;</p> <p>It was Natori that you saw on TV on March 11th - that big black wave knocking out houses, lorries, schools ...</p> <p><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">This run is being done at the&nbsp;same time, by lots of&nbsp;us, all over the world - some in groups, some by themselves.&nbsp; It's not far - but hopefully it will help.&nbsp; M</span><span style="line-height: 19px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #1c1c1c;">oney raised will go through the globalgiving relief fund to the Red Cross and Living Dreams. Thank you very much!</span></p>
