Two Very Easy Ways To Give Back

Two Very Easy Ways To Give Back


I'm often asked how people can run a charitable boot camp in their community. So today I'm going to - with permission - show you the entire email I received recently from my good friend Frank Dolan about a camp he is running. It pretty much sums up how it is done.


The charity he is donating to is a terrific cause founded by another good friend of mine, Allan Boshell. Please be sure to read the entire email found below my signature. You'll be inspired by his story.


Obviously, that's one way to give back. The other is to take one minute of your time and participate in the http://michaelmoorehealthchallenge.com/


There's even a form email at the bottom you can send to healthychallenge@gmail.com . Seriously, it will take you no more than 60 seconds and will help spread the message of preventative healthcare!


Who loves ya? ;-)


Yours in prosperity,

This is how it's done:


"Clarity on Special Fitness Boot Camp Offer August 2007 "


Dear Jim,


Yesterday morning I sent out a special email to promote the 2-Week Boot Camp to benefit the Patty Boshell Pancreatic Cancer Foundation.


Since I received a bunch of questions I figured that the email needed some further clarification.


* Usually Fitness Boot Camp lasts for 3 weeks and costs $167. This special camp is for 2 weeks and costs $100.


* Each payment goes directly to The Patty Boshell Pancreatic Cancer Foundation. When you make your online donation a confirmation email receipt will be sent to you. All you need to do is email me the receipt of your donation and you're in!!


* If you would like to pay by check please make it payable to the foundation and let me know ASAP that you will be attending


* If you would like to make a donation without attending the camp that is fine too


* If you have further questions please feel free to email me....


Don't forget the donation is tax deductible


Below I have attached the original email message in case you missed it yesterday....


Sometimes it's hard.....


Sometimes it is very hard to make exercise a part of your life...


Our typical members, as you know, are not bodybuilders or fitness enthusiasts.


We primarily cater to a group of people who are in most cases pretty healthy, but realize that exercise and a proper diet will prolong that health, enhance their life, increase energy, and make them look and feel great.


I find it so inspiring that we have people here that place so much value and respect on their life and health to invest time and money for a cause that will pay long term dividends in a world dominated by the quick fix.


On a more somber note, the reality is that despite best efforts and intentions, all that can be taken away from us without notice.


About two years ago, my very good friend Allan Boshell's wife was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer.


She passed away 3 months after diagnosis at the age of 49.


Due to mild symptoms and the location of the pancreas, the disease is often difficult to detect and by the time they do it is often too late.


Since his wife has passed, Allan has founded a foundation in her name. The Patty Boshell Pancreatic Cancer Foundation.


It truly is amazing to see someone so devastated by the loss of his wife could turn that into something so positive and inspiring as this new foundation.


A few months ago he was actually on Capitol Hill lobbying for Pancreatic Cancer Research Aid (which at the current time receives the least amount of government support out of major cancer).


He is also using a lifelong passion of his, car racing, to raise money for the foundation!!


Please go to this site to read a recent article about Allan and the cause:

Right now, we are in the middle of the last phase of the Summer Boot Camp. This will leave us a few weeks in August until the Fall Camp will begin. So in the meantime we will be offering a special two week Fitness Boot Camp to support The Patty Boshell Pancreatic Cancer Foundation.


It's a great way for you to get in shape or get a new routine before the hectic "Back to School" season, while donating to a very worthwhile cause.


The 2-week camp will start the week of August 13th and is offered:
* Mondays at 6 AM and 7:30 PM
* Tuesdays at 6 AM and 7:30 PM
* Thursdays at 6 AM and 7:30 PM
* Saturdays at 8:00 AM (on the beach!!)


All levels of fitness are welcome!! In the camp you will work on:
* Increasing your metabolism
* Improving posture and core strength
* Increase strength and endurance
* Burning more calories during your workouts


Normally a session with Frank or Meg would cost $90 per hour....but in this camp you get 8 group sessions for ONLY 100 bucks total!!!


To sign up:
* Go to http://panc reaticcure.org/donate.html
* Donate $100 to the Foundation (all proceeds go to the cause)
* Forward me your receipt (forward to frankjr@all4sportsandfitness.com)
* Show up on Monday, August 13th ready to get in shape
I hope to see you there!!


Sincerely,


Frank Jr.
