Building An Authoritative Travel Blog

Authoritative blogs seem all the rage at the moment but what exactly is an " Authoritative Travel Blog ?" Well my understanding of the matter is it is a blog that is not only very informative to the readers but that the information comes from authoritative type people in connection with what they are writing about.

Hopefully my articles below will give an insight on travel and travel related experiences from all over the world from many authoritative writers as they have been there and done that.

Articles will be and are published often and this means current travel experiences and up to date places to visit. If you have also visited these places or wish to comment then please do so remembering this blog is intended to family orientated visitors so please be respectful.

I have seen many fears raised through my article site and feel that any traveller today that, for one reason or another, decides against travel insurance then they are possibly being a little short sighted. We do not want our boats to sink but are happy to carry life rafts. travel insurance is a similar idea. We do not wish to ever claim on it but if things go wrong as they sometimes do it is a benifit to have the insurance.

Mush Sport for A Cure

By Mara Hernandez-Capili

The sport of sleigh riding of commonly known as dog mushing is a dog sporting event that is considered to be Alaska's state sport. Dog mushing generally involves a sport competition race with a group of dogs on a sleigh. It is primarily done on winter time where ice covers the most of the lands. The breeds of dogs that are acceptable for mushing range from big Siberian huskies to small Chow Chow dogs. Dog Mushing is a sport most dog enthusiasts would always love to see.

The Mush for a Cure is an event meant to raise fund in the Grand Marais, Minnesota planned to raise funds for the National Breast Cancer Foundation. It will be a non-competition event that will showcase the sport of dog mushing. Spectators will enjoy this opportunity to mingle with the participants in the event. It is a fun event that will revere the sport of dog mushing and no prizes will be handed out to the winners of the race as it is not meant to be a competition. It will be a friendly game to show support the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

The National Breast Cancer Foundation is a non- stock, non- profit organization that seeks to promote cure and increase public awareness on breast cancer and its effects. Reports have given information that almost 7 out of 10 females are in danger of acquiring virulent cancer cells. The National Breast Cancer organization aims to provide early detection of cancer cells before it becomes a full blown cancer. Free mammograms and hospital prevention supports are given to female as part of the Foundations advocacy.

It is very great to know that there are a lot of organizations focused in supporting the causes of the foundation. There are also cancer survivors in the group who volunteered to help out in the organization.

Please do come and witness the dog mushing activities in Grand Marais and be part of this fun activity for a cause.
