I’ve been on a diet this week (Thanksgiving Food Hangover)
and that means that I’ve been working out.
Today I happened to notice mention of an app called Charity
Miles. Naturally, the title intrigued me and I began to hunt down said app.
Charity Miles is an app that tracks your outdoor activities
(i.e. running, walking or biking) and donates money to charity per mile that
you complete. How awesome is that?!
They have a list of charities that you choose from before
you start your workout, once your charity is selected you start your workout
(must be outside, no treadmills etc because it uses gps) and it starts tracking
your miles.
I tested it out on my lunch break today - I ran for Stand Up to Cancer.
25 cents per mile for walkers and runners
10 cents per mile for bike riders
A little can go a long way…and you’re already going to work out
today right? So why not do some good for someone else while you are doing good
for yourself? According to their website, the Charity Miles challenge launched June 2012 and will end May 31, 2013...so get going!
*I believe it’s only available for Androids and iPhones
right now – and you have to have a FaceBook account to use it because it links
through there. It looks like enough people have complained about the FaceBook aspect in
their reviews that this may change sometime in the future.
Full of Reason…to work out while helping charities.
Win Win.
Love,
Elyse
