While favorable weather lasts, charities are mounting runs/walks to raise needed funds. As everyone knows, money is tight and the number of folks depending on nonprofit services is increasing.

As another example, in my book, The Power Of Concentration - How To Take Control Of Your Life, I talk about a young woman named Alexandra "Alex" Scott who at 4 years old founded (yes, I said 4 years old, it is not a typo!) a charity for pediatric cancer research. For the next four years of Alex's life, she continued to run her annual "Alex's Lemonade Stand for Pediatric Research" and inspired countless others to do the same. Alex unfortunately died in 2004 at the age of 8, but her spirit lives on. At the time I wrote about her, the charity she founded raised over $5,000,000 for pediatric cancer research. Was Alex a success? Incredibly and inspiringly so! If a young lady with motivation and a "can do" attitude, can do this, there is no obstacle that you should not be able to overcome.
