Since today is Giving Tuesday, the topic for today is: What are your favorite charities?
I try to support the charities that are meaningful to my friends or that support cures for diseases that have taken the lives of family and/or friends.
Here are a few of my favorites:
-
- Michael J. Fox – my friend’s husband died of Parkinson’s.
- Team in Training – my running friend’s daughter died of blood cancer.
- Alzheimer’s Association – a friend is currently suffering
- Breast Cancer – too many women that I know have battled this disease.
- STEM – an organization that supports women who have been victims of domestic violence.
- Heart Association – this has negatively affected some friends’ husbands and family members.
Happy Running! What are your favorite charities? Please share.
Since today is Tuesday, I’m linking up with Zenaida (The Running Teacher) and Jenn (Runs with Pugs).
and tomorrow:
I’m also linking up with: co-hosts Coach Debbie Runs, Confessions of a Mother Runner, Mile by Mile, and Runs with Pugs
My First 5K and More... 
I’m glad you reminded me- it’s possible I might have forgotten it’s Giving Tuesday. All the charities you list are great. I’ll have to talk to my husband about it- he has a friend suffering from ALS right now. The family has a Go Fund Me set up to deal with their astronomical expenses- he might want to donate directly to that.

These are all good ones. I forgot to add the DONNA organization to my list. It’s a local breast cancer initiative, started by Jacksonville’s current mayor, who survived breast cancer four times!

My current favorite charity is the Ice Age Trail Alliance! I spend so much time on those trails and it’s nice to be able to give back

So many charities out there that need support. I tend to give to animal charities and St. Lukes. I volunteer for them too.
