    Great list. :) Those are all wonderful charities to donate to. We donate to the Canadian Cancer Society, and to the Endometriosis Association (I have endometriosis). A lot of the races we run are also for charity, so we make contributions to many other charities as well.

    Have a good day. :)

    My husband and I give to Toys for Tots every year. It is a worthwhile cause. I’ve never heard of the Operations Christmas Child.

    My 13 are up.

    Excellent list!

    I’d like to add one that’s close to my heart: Chemoangels.com. If any family members have cancer, this is a wonderful organization with so many big hearted volunteers. Check it out!\

    Thanks for stopping by my “Horrifying” 13! :)
