 So, this is pretty last minute, but I just remembered I have 2 charity events coming up in June and have done NO fundraising!!! Uh-oh.

If anyone has any money burning a hole in their pockets (not sure who you may be, I apparently don't run in those circles ), I'm posting the links to the donation pages of the upcoming charity walks I'm doing.

If you've been aching to donate to the American Cancer Society, I'm doing Relay For Life in Poolesville, MD on June 9th and here's my donation page:

If you have or know of someone who has Crohn's/Ulcerative Colitis/IBD, I'm walking in the National Capital Area Take Steps for Crohn's & Colitis walk on June 16th. Here's the donation page:

If one is REALLY long-sighted, I'm also doing the AIDSwalk in DC on October 27th, in honor of my late uncle Ron & here's the donation page for that:

Thank you in advance for looking at this post! And thank you if you even had a thought of donating - sometimes it really is the thought that counts - but a REALLY BIG THANK YOU if you went ahead and helped me raise money for these worthy charities!!!

Just wanted to say that's great for all the fundraising you are doing. I can only do one charity a year. My husband and I also raise money for CCFA but we do the half marathon in Napa in July. My cousin in Chicago does the Takes Steps so between us and him we've given a lot to CCFA, a cause near and dear to our hearts. Good luck to you!

 You should totally try Team Challenge.  They are so nice and the the trainers really know how to prepare you, and it's just such an amazing experience to be part of such a group.
