Run for EMC
This Sunday in honor of our Parisian sister city's marathon we are going to virtually go the distance and log miles (and moolah) for Every Mother Counts. Using the Charity Miles App every mile you log automatically donates $0.25. Every time you head out the door with your phone (which I know for some of you is rare/never and others is every.damn.day) you just turn on Charity Miles, choose EMC and run. Boom!
Our goal this Sunday is to run 1,000 miles for EMC with your help! That's just 142 people running 7 miles.
- Download Charity Miles App
- Log in
- Choose EMC and start your run
Are you up to the challenge!? I know some love to run unplugged, but one long run with your phone could make a big difference in reaching our goal this Sunday. Plus, you can Instagram it, you know you wanna.
Tell us on Twitter, how many miles did you #RunEMC?
