Yes, actually that's the right way to do it.
Because there's no visible difference between the gerund and the so-called present participle, it almost looks like "me" and "my" are doing the same job. They aren't. The "me" acts as a modified object; the "my" acts as an object modifier. Of course, in both cases you end up with some modified object for the preposition "for". The overall meaning of each is much the same, and the choice between them is often no more than a question of stylistic convention.
