Charity Miles – Earn money for charity while you work out

Charity Miles is an organization that gives people the opportunity to direct corporate contributions to charities of their choice… simply by walking, running and biking! It adds extra motivation to know that as you are moving you are doing good!

Charity Miles tracks your distance, and large companies make contributions to the charity you selected.

Here’s how to join in on the fun:

  1. Download the Charity Miles app onto your smartphone. Available on both Apple & Android at charitymiles.org.
  2. Create a free account.
  3. Choose which charity you would like to support. You may change selections each time you log in.
  4. Select “Teams” and join the “Fueling Healthy Families” team!
  5. Start walking, running or biking!

One cool feature of the app I love is the availability to add a picture and share to social media what charity you are supporting. You also get to see what corporate partner is donating on your behalf.
