Charities

Squidoo (an online group that raises tons of money for charities) is giving away $80,000 to selected charities from now until October 15.   There are no catches, and no gimmicks - all you have to do is CLICK HERE to visit their website and vote ($2 per vote) for the charity of your choice (from their list of about 50).

There are several good charities (and some off the wall!) to choose from, but the one that got my vote was March of Dimes.  They provide funding for research to reduce and prevent premature births, and they provide support for families with preemies.  Because of pregnancy complications, we have come close to having two preemies (okay, so Aaron technically was a preemie - by 1 day!), and we have several friends whose babies were very premature.

Each vote gets $2, and you can only vote once (more than that and they will delete your vote(s).  Remember, voting ends October 15!  So, whether you vote for March of Dimes, or something else, support a worthwhile charity.
