Talking Charity Races

I think I've mentioned this before, but I'm going to be doing 3 charity races this year. And I'm trying to raise money for them. I was wondering if anyone would like to support me or has any ideas on how I can raise some money for the charities. This is the first time I've ever done this and am not sure how to go about it.

The first one I'm doing is the March of Dimes March for Babies.
I've joined March for Babies because the March of Dimes champions the needs of moms and babies in our community and across the nation. The money we raise for March for Babies will help:
- support all-important research offering preventions and solutions for babies born too soon or with birth defects
- educate women on things they can do to increase their chances of having a healthy baby
- provide comfort and information to families with a newborn in intensive care
- push for newborn screening and health insurance for all pregnant women and children
Please help by donating today!
It's easy, safe and secure - just click to make your donation.

Clean Air Challenge
I've also joined hundreds of others throughout our community to raise funds for the American Lung Association®, fight for cleaner air and prevent lung disease.

Please join me in my efforts to make a difference in the air we all breathe!

Your donation to the American Lung Association can help make an impact by funding life saving research, education and advocacy efforts.

And I'm doing the Relay for Life with The American Cancer Society.
This year, hundreds of thousands of people will hear the words "You have cancer", and there's a good chance that some of them will be people we know and love. We have all been touched by cancer in some way ... and we all have the power to make a difference.
That's why I have chosen to fight back right here in my own community by participating in the American Cancer Society Relay For Life®. I want to invite you to join me in the fight against cancer by making a donation in support of my efforts. Every amount, no matter how small, makes a difference and provides hope.

These 3 have special meaning for me as a mother and having recently lost the father of my children to Lung Disease. If any of you have any ideas on how I can get donations or would like to donate I would really appreciate it. The March for Babies is a 5 1/2 mile walk/run. The Clean Air Challenge is a 5K walk/run and the Relay for Life is just that a relay lasts for 24 hours and there will be a member of my team walking/running the whole time. I'm excited to be able to do something that can help and can/will make a difference in the world.

I am currently sponsoring a child in Ethiopia through a charity, I have been sponsoring him for more than 4 years now, recently he started writing to me himself, I couldn't find a greater way to spend 40 dollars a month!

That is awesome that you are willing to help someone in another country. But what about the people here that need help? The premature babies? The people dying from cancer or lung diseases? The homeless and hungry that need help here? Not everyone is able to help themselves in the U.S. Some people are homeless due to mental disabilities and need to be taken care of. I would rather spend my money to help people closer to home first. When we have our problems and issues fixed then I'll look to helping people in another country.
