A giveaway ...sortof
So I have been truly touched by all the wonderful comments I have been getting and love the support. I was thinking I should do a giveaway and then I thought wait who needs another book, pair of socks or gift certificate to starbucks....well we all do but I thought it might be better to win 25 bucks donated to your favorite charity !!!

that is a VERY sweet giveaway. wow. I'll choose Donor's Choose.org (it's a format to let ps choose which classroom project they want to donate money to. I relied on it often in my teaching/counselor days;-)
ReplyDeleteThis is a fantastic contest!! I will link to all I know!
ReplyDeleteI am doing the 4 mile March for Babies for the March of Dimes on April 25th. I was going to post on my blog in a couple weeks to get some donations. :)
If I win, I will send you my link and you can donate right on my walker page.
What a nice idea. My charity of choice would be Charity: Water, http://www.charitywater.org, bringing clean water to those without.

This is an AWESOME idea! Thank You!!
ReplyDeleteMy charity would be the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. I am currently waiting to find out if spots that I have in both of my breasts are cancer. I won't know until June but in the meantime I've been dedicating all of my training towards this cause.
My entire family has been touched by Breast Cancer and it's a cause that is both literally and figuratively close to my heart! Any money I raise for my August Tri is going to them!
Thank You!
What a great idea! My charity is Leukemia and Lymphoma society. I am doing the NYC Triathlon with Team In Training and raising money for cancer research. I did it last year too. My coach and a good friend of mine are both survivors of Hodgkin Lymphoma. I find it such a privilege that they allow me to race in celebration of their lives. I did a post on them too in my blog.

Thank you!
What a great idea! My vote goes to the Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults. It is here in my hometown and helps young adults with cancer, a group that often is overlooked/underinsured/undersupported when it comes to the disease. They also are very active in the running/triathlon community here and put on some great events to raise money. Check them out at www.ulmancancerfund.org
ReplyDeleteWow! This is an amazing giveaway and the first one I will link on my blog- very cool!
ReplyDeleteMy charity is C3- colorectal cancer coalition.
http://fightcolorectalcancer.org/donate. My mom's name is Janice Johnson, if you are so inclined, please make the donation in her name. She was the greatest person I have ever known- I only wish I had more time to tell her how wonderful she was.
Thanks!
Thanks so much for doing this!
ReplyDeleteI would definitely donate to the Lupus Foundation as a dear neighbor of mine was dx'd with it as a young teen.
Details about her are here:

I'll be running the Chicago Marathon this fall on the Lupus Charity team and raising $$ for them as well.
Found your blog as I was reading - I run because . . . I can.
ReplyDeleteI'd donate to Crohn's and Colitis - my niece suffers from Crohn's disease and she and her family are doing a walk in June.
