This is a story out of Britain describing how a fitness facility, Bannatyne\u2019s Health Club, helped a 55-year-old man, Ian Donaldson, train to race in the Ironman (they misspelled it in their article: it\u2019s one word, not two) to raise funds for Clic Sargent, a charity that helps children with cancer. Donaldson had participated in charitable races before, but never the Ironman triathlon, which is very rigorous and lasts between 12 and 14 hours. The article also included a link at the end whereby readers could donate to Donaldson\u2019s cause.<\/li>\n<li>Interesting\/Relevant Today: Not necessarily. It\u2019s a nice human-interest story, but nothing more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Story 3: Charity Races Mix Fitness and Fundraising<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sparkpeople.com\/resource\/fitness_articles.asp?id=1181\">http:\/\/www.sparkpeople.com\/resource\/fitness_articles.asp?id=1181<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Date Published: September 10, 2008<\/li>\n<li>Summary: This article was the best of all. Instead of being just a list of charity races (Article 1) or one racer\u2019s specific story (Article 2), this article talked about charity races in general (many themed) and told readers how to get involved in one.
