Have you ever run a marathon or a 5K for charity? It’s fun, right? You get to workout and train beforehand, plus you’re doing something good for others. The part of doing those events that’s not so fun? Having to solicit people for money beforehand. Listen, it’s always nice to give back, but when you have to spend an hour on the phone trying convince your best friend’s grandmother to send you money in order to raise the necessary funds to participate, you question why you even decided to run that 5K in the first place.
Instead, it’s time to run, walk or bike your way to raising money for charity during your own work out. How? Download Charity Miles on your phone. Here’s how it works: download the app, choose one of the charities the app sponsors. Then decide whether you want to run, walk or bike. Bikers earn 10 cents per mile, while runners and walkers earn 25 cents per mile. Next, get your workout in and corporate sponsors pay those cents that you earned during your workout. Overtime, it adds up, plus you get to give back on a daily basis.
It’s an amazing way to give back! I’ve already got it downloaded on my phone. Check it out for youself!
