Making a difference

Let's start by saying, I am a runner so the recent events in Boston make me very sad.  People who run, people who support, people who take a mild interest in marathons are amazing people.  They endure, support, and encourage those that would challenge the very threshold of human capabilities.  Today I just want to talk about making a difference.  In your life and in other peoples there are small things we can do to make a difference.  One of the easiest things you can do is run, bike or walk for a cause.  There is a free app I use called Charity Miles.
Charity Miles

You can pick what charity you want to donate to and the best part is it is all completely free!!  They make money from advertisers and such (which never interrupt your run, walk, or bike).  You can also make a difference by donating blood in your area like some runners did after the Boston marathon to give to victims.
Find where to donate blood in your area

Just remember that after you do, your exercise regimine should decrease slightly.  Wait at least 24-36 hours before performing a heavy cardio exercise and for double blood 36-48 hours.

Other ways to help in your area would be to donate to a local food bank.  I always ask what fresh vegetables and fruits they can use (some don't accept any) or canned foods such as beans, corns, tomatoes, etc.  To connect to a local food back click the link below.

But whatever you do to give back remember that however small or insignificant you or your deed may feel it matters to someone else probably more than you will ever know.
