#BostonStrong10k, Presented by Lifeway

Charity Miles is one of our favorite apps.When we started our running journey, we got very addicted to different running apps for our phones. Running for a cause is definitely something we believe in very strongly, and Charity Miles is amazing. When we heard Charity Miles was doing something to benefit the One Fund for Boston, we knew we had to get involved.


Here's the lowdown:





According to the website:

  • Do 10k (total) with Charity Miles by May 12 and you will be eligible to win prizes from Charity Miles and Lifeway.
  • Everyone who registers here gets this super-soft T-Shirt and a free Lifeway frozen kefir. (Delish!)
  • 100% of net proceeds benefit The One Fund Boston.

All shirts are made:
  • From 100% post consumer recycled plastic bottles, saving over 60 bottles from landfills.
  • With an exclusive No Water Dye Technology, saving over 700 gallons of fresh water.
  • Toxin free.
  • In the United States.



If you have the time, definitely check out the Charity Miles app.  It's not just for running, you can also log in miles walking or biking, as well. Bikers earn 10 cents a mile and walkers and runners earn 25 cents a mile. All you have to do is get moving  Charities that you can run/walk/bike for are:

Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research
