Wouldn’t it be amazing if every step you took improved not only your own life but also the lives of others?

The partnership of the United Nations Foundation and Charity Miles app gives you exactly that opportunity.
The Charity Miles app is free.
iPhone: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/charity-miles/id505253234?mt=8
Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.charitymiles.android
Charity Miles will donate 25 cents for every mile walked or run, and 10 cents for every mile biked to a featured charity, chosen by the user.
In February, the UN Foundation is partnering with Charity Miles to raise funds toward Shot@Life — a UN organization that provides life saving vaccines in the places where they are most needed.
If you walk just four miles in February, and log those miles with Charity Miles, you will provide enough funds to Shot@Life to fully immunize a child against Polio.
Other UN Foundation campaigns connected to Charity Miles are Girl Up, where your miles will help a teen girl in a developing country safely attend school and Nothing but Nets where you will help protect a family from malaria.
Regardless of the charity you choose, every single step you take contributes toward a mile that raises money to help someone who needs it.
I recently shared my thoughts on the ripple effect – and this simple act is an easy way to make a difference in another person’s life.
Won’t you please take a moment and download Charity Miles so that every step you take makes a difference?
