Hi,
This is Doug. And away we go. I've got the blog set up so I better start posting. I may not get to posting everyday, let's face it, I'm training so it won't be that exciting. But, I am raising money for my Kiwanis Club in Rancho Cucamonga. We do some great work in the community focusing primarily on kids. I'll tell you more about that as the Half Marathon gets closer. Which reminds me, I probably should explain what I'm doing. The heading gives a brief description. I'm training to do a half marathon in San Diego on November 15th. A half marathon is 13.1 miles and I'll be doing it on my handcycle. I've already begun to train. I'm into about week 4 now. I just did a 10 mile ride yesterday. Today is my rest day. I train 6 days a week and rest on Monday's. It gives me a reason to look forward to Monday's. Yay! I sent out a bunch of emails on Friday with a flyer about what I'm doing and already the pledges are coming in. My friend Chris suggested I try to get businesses to donate products and services that I can auction or raffle and I got my first one this morning. So away we go. Look forward to hearing your thoughts. If you'd like to make a donation get in touch with me at dougv@prodougtions.com.
See you on the road!
Doug

Doug... put a link on your blog where people can donate $ right after you tear at their emotions with your posts :) Nicely done.
ReplyDeletealso, monetize your blog ( it is one of the tabs on your blog dashboard) so that ads are posted on your blog that have to do with the content of what you are posting. Google will then send you money everytime someone clicks on one of those ads from your blog. You can then donate that money too. You can see an example of this on my blog.
