Around The Blogosphere – Week 118

Welcome to our weekly roundup here at “5 Minutes Around the Blogosphere”.

As you know, you can come back all week and add a post or giveaway to our Mister Linky. Be sure to check back often, as new links will be added daily. You don’t want to miss out on something fun.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

• If you like to run, the Fresh Air Fund has spots available on the NYC Half-Marathon. You can learn more and register here.

CONTESTS & SWEEPSTAKES

• CBS Films’ upcoming film Extraordinary Measures, starring Brendan Fraser and Harrison Ford, is inspired by the true story of John Crowley – a man who defied conventional wisdom and great odds to pursue a cure for his children’s life threatening disease.

  To celebrate Crowley’s story, here’s a wonderful opportunity to get the word about a cause that is close to you, and also possibly win some money for them! All you have to do is upload an inspirational video. Go to Inspirational Quilt and click on Upload Your Story. Once your video is uploaded, you will be entered into the sweepstakes for a chance to designate the charity of your choice to receive $10,000. Tell your friends to vote to increase your chances of winning!
