WALK OF HOPE
FOR THE CHILDREN OF THE WORLD

ROBERT HAMPSON’S GIFT

Robert Hampson is collecting the tabs from aluminum beverage cans to help others less fortunate. The irony of this statement and Robert’s action is the fact that Robert is blind. He lost his sight as a result of a tumor. He also has cancer. In spite of his own physical challenge, Robert is reaching out to touch other human beings in need.

When the Walk of Hope’s founder, Norman Ball started recycling aluminum cans he picked up on the road, he had a vision to help children that needed wheelchairs and other medical devices. When Norman heard about Robert Hampson, he cried with admiration and respect for the compassion of this 9 year old. Robert has inspired Norman and the Walk of Hope team to undertake a massive campaign to help children who need wheelchairs, prosthetics, life-saving medical devices and operations.

Robert’s unselfish act in light of his own physical challenge, has touched the hearts of the Walk of Hope team. The result of his inspiration will reach around the world, giving children hope to improve their quality of life. We are very proud of Robert for his gift. We can honestly say we are better for having known him.

Thanks to this courageous young man, we have set a goal to collect 100 tons of tabs over the second year of the Walk of Hope. We hope to be able to collect between 100 and 300 tons per year after that.

We’re asking that individuals and companies put ‘tab boxes’ into high traffic areas and corporate lunch rooms and when they are full, to place the tabs in a mailing container and send it to the Walk of Hope in Canada or the United States.

We would also appreciate it if you would e mail Robert Hampson through the Walk of Hope web site at www.walkofhope.org or e-mail direct to info@walkofhope.org
