I've blogged about the Fresh Air Fund a couple of times.  This organization exists to help city kids find fresh air and respite from some pretty tough neighborhoods.
If you are planning to be in NYC in March, and you like the idea of running a half-marathon...well then, keep on reading. If you just like the idea of helping kids who don't get a lot of old-fashioned Americana moments, keep reading as well. Every  year,  The Fresh Air Fund gives thousands of inner-city children the priceless gift of fun – and  opens  the door to a lifetime of opportunities.  |

If  you can give as much as $91,  you provide  a child at camp with meals for a week.                                                                   |
