A is for Albuterol: Blogging Around the Clock for BREATHING

Welcome to the all-new A is for Albuterol, my blogging platform during the 2013 Blogathon. I'm so excited to announce that the 2013 Blogathon will kick off on August 3rd, 2013 at 8:30 AM EST!

What is a Blogathon? Beginning August 3rd, 2013 at 8:30 AM EST, I will be blogging once every 30 minutes for 24 hours straight. Much like a marathon, swim-a-thon, walk-a-thon, etc., people will donate to sponsor me to raise funds for charity. I will be fundraising again this year for the Global Links Nebulizer Campaign to ensure no more lives are lost due to the inability to breathe. You can read more about why this is important to me and about Global Links here.

What's this about prizes? For every $5 you donate, you will be eligible to win some fabulous prizes generously donated by our amazing sponsors! Winners will be selected at random using random.org.
