Have You Heard of the CHEERIOS "Do What You Love" Contest? - giveaway

I've eaten Cheerios^® for as long as I can remember.  And when my Daughter was a tot, I would give her Cheerios to munch on.  Never thinking of Cheerios as part of a healthy heart diet.  But they are!

Eating Cheerios, made with 100% whole grain oats, is a tasty way to maintain a healthy heart.  I almost always have a box of Cheerios in my house, at any given time.  When I want a quick snack, or a simple lunch, it's nothing to see me eat a bowl of Cheerios.  Cheerios has several varieties, but I personally prefer the original, plain Cheerios.


Cheerios is giving you a chance of a lifetime by partnering with country music super star Martina McBride and professional athlete Cal Ripken, Jr for the "Do What You Love" Contest.  McBride and Ripken will recognize two very lucky people with prizes that will make their hearts race with joy.

One music lover along with a guest, will tour the Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum with Martina McBride, hang out with her in her recording studio (the world famous Blackbird Studio) and also get VIP tickets to one of her upcoming concerts.

Another lucky winner, who is a baseball enthusiast, along with a guest, will have the chance to hang out and play catch with Cal Ripken, and tour the Ripken Youth Baseball Academy in Aberdeen, MD, with the "Iron Man" of baseball himself.  The winner will also get to throw out the first pitch at the Cal Ripken World Series and sit in Ripken's reserved seats at the Baltimore baseball game.

Between now and July 23, 2010 you can submit a 150-250 word original story and photo, showing what you love to do, for your chance to win the experience of a lifetime with either McBride or Ripken.  To enter, visit http://www.cheerios.com/love today.

In addition to your chance to win by visiting http://www.cheerios.com/love, I also have a giveaway that you can enter to win.
