Running A Half Marathon
Bloggers Get the Word Out
When you have a blog on the internet whether it’s a blog for “making money online” or a blog about “affiliate marketing” or just a “blog about life” every once in awhile you’re asked to participate in helping a good cause. Having your own blog feels great because you know that you are reaching thousands of people and that you have the ability of lending a helping hand to people that work for some of these great causes. This is one of those times, and it’s the pleasure of MomsCashBlog to be able to help The Fresh Air Fund in any way that we could and this is my contribution. We are asked to get the word out about a Spring Half Marathon that will be held this spring/March 2010 in the Big Apple and they need runners, sponsors, volunteers, and of course donations at any time are always welcomed.
First about The Fresh Air Fund
The Fresh Air Fund is a not-for-profit agency that gives thousands of inner city children a chance of a life time. They have been giving these children this opportunity for more than 130 years which is really an outstanding accomplishment for a non-profit agency. Fresh air says it all, for these children get a chance to get out of the city in the summer time when the cities are hot, steamy and ozone levels are high. They get to enjoy several weeks with a sponsored family that may live by the ocean and make sand castles in the sand, jump & run from the crashing frigid cold waves of the Atlantic ocean and breathe in the fresh salt air. Think about a child that has never left the confines of the city-” the cement jungle” but are given a chance to stay at a camp with clean blue lakes and wildlife all around them, now imagine sitting around a camp fire at night toasting marshmallows. Seeing skyscrapers & tenement buildings standing tall & straight every day of their lives, but for a couple of weeks they get to enjoy beautiful trees standing tall & green reaching upward for the clear blue skies. They may take hikes in the forest and see wildlife that they may never see again. For these two weeks of the summer these children become part of another family doing all the things that some of them may never get to experience. Playing family board games on a rainy day at camp, maybe tenting in the back yard, or helping with the family veggie garden and tasting fresh fruit that they picked with their own hands. These are all memories that these children will cherish for their lifetime and you as a sponsored family will feel great knowing that you gave some child a chance of looking at the world in a different light and may lead them on a completely different path later in their life. Everyone wins in this program..
The New York City Half Marathon
Interest is high and the excitement building for the New York City Half Marathon that will have runners from all over the world, plus many of the Fresh Air Fund racers are getting ready for the March 21, 2010 race this spring. There are still openings for racers although limited space so if you are interested in running a half marathon please get in contact with the Fresh Air Fund asap. Last year’s 09 Fresh Air Fund Racers that completed the NYC Half-Marathon, raised almost $90,000.00. They depend on tax deductible donations & other fund raisers to keep this wonderful project going. If you want to sponsor a racer you can do that or if you just want to make a donation that is welcomed anytime of the year! But if you want to run in a historic half marathon race, then get training and sign up soon and you could be running with other runners from all over the world.
So get those running shoes ready and start stretching or whatever it is you runners do to prepare for a big marathon. Let’s get the word out about the Fresh Air Fund-Half Marathon coming March 21, 2010… which is really just around the corner if you have to start training. You’ll be running in a NYC Marathon and at the same time you will be helping the children and the Fresh Air Fund. Mark your calendar March 21, 2010.

Hi jj,
I’m very familiar with the NYC marathon as I grew up there and believe it or not, actually participated in one. I didn’t do very well but it was exciting and an experience I’ll never forget. I commend you for promoting such a worthy cause and hopefully many people will see your message.
I live in NYC! I don’t think I’ll get the time to run but I might definitely try to get into the city and support the runners some way or another! Thanks for dedicating an entire post about this.. and you’re so right.. we that have blogs and have the opportunity to share with our readers.. need to do our part to help out causes that might be able to some day change the world. Even if your blog is a “small scale”.. you can still do your part and make a difference. Keep up the great work!

Interesting post your post really like many people to make more and more money thanks for this informative post…
I appreciate such altruistic effort but i am sad also that i can’t help in any side which is required.
Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. I look at giving or helping as something we all do at some time in our lives, and at times when we “can” give, there are times in our lives when all of us just can’t give but just recognizing the fact that we can help in maybe a different cause or time then we are doing what we can do. Maybe paying it forward could be your contribution. I did that the other day waiting in line at a toll booth, I gave the woman my dollar and told her to pay the extra 50cents to the car behind me. Wow! You should of seen that guy in the car behind me, I watched him in my rear view mirror and he raced to catch up with me then passed me and started waving and mouthing thank you. I’m sure he’s wondering who the hell is this broad, but it was fun and it made my day, imagine what his day must felt like? We all do what we can. Even if it’s only 50 cents you make someone’s day. Try it!m jj
@motorcrossapparel, thanks so much for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment, I really appreciate it. In reply to your comment yes I’ll admit that I would love it if I could help many many people make money and at the same time I would love to also make more money. lol But who of us in this business isn’t working in hopes of making more money and spreading the wealth? Thanks again for the comment, and I’ll be over to check out your blog/website!. jj

Can we generate cash from A Blog?
@sell property, thanks for stopping at Momscashblog and leaving your comment. To answer your question about can a blog generate cash? Yes a blog can make money for you if you run it right, it does take some time and won’t happen overnight. I offer a “free blog tutorial” on my blog click on that and start your own blog, when you are ready with your idea and you can too can start to make money. Do a little research and read some other blogs and decide what you think your good at and start a blog/website. If you are into cars, or trains, or selling property then think about going in that direction. Give me a shout if you decide to do it. Thanks again. jj
I’d be tempted to let them pre-empt it. I’m not going to give a false review and I’m not going to refund the money, but I might let them just forget about me posting it.
Great posts you have submitted.
I have also a travel related blog.
It’s produced naturally in the body, by taking it you are only increasing your natural levels. I never felt any site effects, except it can make your muscle feel soft from all the extra water.
I’d be tempted to allow them to pre-empt it. I’m not heading to give a false evaluation and I’m not heading to refund the cash, but I could allow them to just forget about me posting it.
We should promote such programs and initiatives more since they are for such a good cause.
I think we should activate Ad-sense account for our blog. We will earn money on every click on ADD.
Adsense is a good way to earn money or you can choose affiliate marketing option.
Not sure about letting my mum write a blog post but this seems very helpful.
