Hi - my name is Teresa Belgrove and I am the author of a recently published book entitled – Girls on the Run..!

Just briefly – the book is aimed at everyday girls of all ages, and would be suitable for members of your club, their wives or partners, family and friends, or to anyone looking for that extra bit of inspiration and motivation to ignite a passion for running, to promote some of the many health benefits running can bring into our busy lives, and to encourage new female members.

Available to view online at: www.trafford.com/07-1280
Also available to order at: www.amazon.com or most major online and high street bookstores.

I would be most grateful if you could help to spread the word amongst your members, and if you require any further information please email me at: teresa.girlsontherun@hotmail.com

Thank you and I hope you enjoy!
Kind Regards
Teresa

Hello,

I teach sports law and risk management at Fordham University in New York City. I am preparing a presentation analyzing what happened at last fall's LaSalle Chicago Marathon and whether the organizers were adequately prepared for the heat wave. I have been looking for running who participated in the race and asking them to complete a survey (which is provided here). The information would be helpful for me, as I will be making a presentation at the Sports and Recreation Law Association conference at the end of this month.

Could you post or forward this e-mail to any of your members who participated? If they are interested, they can complete the survey (it should take about 5 - 10 minutes) and e-mail it as an attached file to me at sportslaw@aol.com.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to e-mail me.

Many thanks for your cooperation.

You and your fellow athletes can help change the world.

Many of us dedicate our marathons and other events to raise money for our favorite nonprofits. Now, ChangingThePresent.org, a new nonprofit marketplace, makes it easier and more rewarding than ever to help make the world a better place as we fulfill our personal potential.

More Rewarding
You can raise money for any nonprofit, or even for the particular world-changing action that is most meaningful for you. For instance, you can raise money to provide children with their first books, preserve acres of the rainforest, fund hours of cancer research, or sponsor cataract surgeries to help blind people see.

Our highly engaging personal fundraising pages include: (sample: http://changingthepresent.org/drives/show/39 )

• An inspiring photo of what you’re raising money for
• Your own photo and personal message
• A detailed description of the nonprofit and donation item you select
• A blog for you and your friends to share thoughts on your drive
• Names and photos to provide recognition for your supporters
• Widgets to spread the word via web pages, blogs and MySpace pages
• A thermometer bar to show what you have accomplished

More Efficient
Who wants to run the last miles of a marathon for a business that’s taking a significant chunk of the money we raise? That’s what happens when you use the leading fundraising tools. ChangingThePresent.org is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit website, so all of the money you raise goes to the nonprofit you select, less only a standard 3% and 30 cents credit card transaction fee.

About ChangingThePresent.org
ChangingThePresent.org is a nonprofit website. The Board of Advisors includes the heads of over 125 prominent nonprofit organizations, including, Teach for America, Sierra Club, Sesame Workshop, Save the Children, Global Fund for Children, United States Fund for UNICEF, Rainforest Alliance, and the Lance Armstrong Foundation, as well as other social sector leaders, such as Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Jody Williams.

We hope you will visit us at www.ChangingThePresent.org/drives, and that you will help spread the word with your email, blog, website, newsletter and plain old word of mouth! We welcome your input and would be more than happy to answer any questions and talk about any impressions you would like to share.

Thank you very much. We appreciate your time and consideration.

Best wishes,
Jo

Hello to all.
