The blog has been up for about 3 weeks and the feedback has been very positive. "Thank you" to everyone who has already sent a donation or made a pledge. As of today we are about $1,500 either paid or pledged so far. I am raising money for 2 charities. The first is the Arthritis Foundation which provides an array of services to those suffering from severe arthritis. The Foundation has a local chapter which provides support services, holds events and programs, and provides medication and treatment to those in need. The second charity is Do Something Now. This charity was created by a friend with the goal of exporting bicycles to be used for transportation in remote areas and villages in third world countries. An inexpensive used bicycle in these areas can greatly facilitate the recipient accessing essential services such as food, clean water and medical care as well as aiding in the receipt of education and employment. Both of these charities provide a tremendous service and are worthy of your support. Your efforts to assist in their fund raising goals will be felt by people in need both here in San Diego and in remote areas of the world where survival is often a daily struggle. Their respective websites can be accessed at http://www.arthritis.org/ and http://www.do-something-now.org/. Please make your check payable to the charity and send it to me at 1545 Hotel Circle South, Ste 130, San Diego, CA 92108.
Thanks again for all of your support!!
