Remember about a month ago I posted about joining BeeWell Miles ? Well if you don't let me just refresh your memory a little.
Bee Well Miles is a program from Bumble Bee Foods. Between now and October 31, 2009 they will donate $0.15 for every mile you walk or run. It's free to sign up at Bee Well Miles and the proceeds will go to the charity, Breast Cancer Network of Strength . Which helps provide emotional support to those with Breast Cancer.
Last month I talked about how I had received a pedometer. I have been calculating my miles and so far I have logged in 36 miles. Which has raised $5.40 towards the charity. I probably could be doing better at this, and I am really going to try to log in some more miles!
You also can win some prizes by logging in your miles. If you log in your miles from walking or pink Bumble Bee cans you can instantly win one of 15,000 prizes. This actually happened to me, one day when I was logging in some miles, I won a prize. I won a free download of a song. They gave me a code to enter into a website, and I was able to download a song! How cool is that?
So go check out Bee Well miles! You can find a lot of cool stuff on the website and you can walk to make a difference.
Recently I was asked to participate in a campaign called BeeWell Miles . Which is a great program sponsored by Bumble Bee Foods. They are donating $0.15, to Breast Cancer research, for every mile logged. The campaign runs from 4/1/09-10/31/09. And the money will go to the charity called Breast Cancer Network of Strength.
I was very excited to be able to start taking part in this program. I must admit I am not a big exerciser. As far as working out at a gym and the like. But the one form of exercise I have always loved is walking. When I wanted to lose weight before I got married, I walked. When I wanted to lose weight after my pregnancies, I walked.
I love the freedom of walking outdoors, and at the same time getting some exercise. Saturday I decided to head out for a walk. It actually was a bit cold out and pretty windy out, but I didn't let that stop me. Below is a picture my daughter took of me before I headed out for my walk.
I borrowed my husband's ipod, put on my walking shoes, and tried out my new pedometer. When I was done I had walked a little over 2 miles! Today I registered at BeeWellMiles.com and logged in my miles. As I mentioned they are donating $0.15 for every mile that is logged in. So just think what a difference I could make if I walked 2 miles a day. I would be doing my part to help in the fight against Breast Cancer and getting some great exercise too.
