How about running a fun race and raising money for autism:

Each day two North Carolina families have a child diagnosed with a form of autism. That's nearly 800 families added each year to the 50,000 families in our state already living with autism.
Proceeds from the Triangle Run/Walk for Autism support the statewide programs and services of the Autism Society of North Carolina. Examples of those services include: the nation's oldest and largest summer camp for individuals with autism, parent advocacy and mentoring, awareness and education, and one-to-one training.

This race is part of the Second Empire Grand Prix series 2009 and it raises funds for autism research.
