Running for a Cause - Saturday's Spotlight

Enduramoms loves to shine a spotlight on women of endurance that are working hard for a worthy cause.  Here's to what I hope will become a recurring theme on this blog:  The Enduramoms Saturday Spotlight.  If you know of a strong woman and/or mom that is running for a great cause...drop us an email and let us know!
 If you're one of those runners or triathletes who LOVES to support runners, selfless enough to run for a great cause or maybe you're just addicted to that warm fuzzy feeling you get every time you help others ... I've got a great person and cause for you to support!  Skip a latte today and donate that small bit to charity. 

Enduramoms Saturday Spotlight for August 7th, 2010 - Ashley of BGR

First: Check out the Black Girls Run website for super tips on running, nutrition, training, African American haircare, gear reviews, and more! Ashley and Toni have put a lot of work into building this informative running site to get women moving and keep the flow of inspiration out there.

Second:  Sponsor Ashley in the 2010 ING NYC Marathon.  Ashley is running on behalf of the American Heart Association ... which, of course, is a fine organization.  Her fundraising goal is $3000 ... and she needs a little help from her friends to hit that big race day goal by November 7th.  Isn't it worth donating the cost of a single day's latte $ to a great organization like the American Heart Association?  Did you realize that the prevalence of cardiovascular disease in black females is 44.7%? If that figure frightens you as much as it does me...do something today and kick in some support to fight against heart disease!

Third:  Well I don't have a third.... I just love saying 1st and second.

Be sure to tell BGR that Enduramoms sent you :)
