Charity Miles
An app that turns your walks into donations for a charity you pick.
What Charity Miles does
Charity Miles is a free app that raises money for charity when you walk, run or bike. Corporate sponsors fund the donations based on the miles you log, and friends can sponsor you on a pledge page. The money goes to the charity, not to you. On iPhone and Android.
Charity Miles is the pick if you want your walks to help someone else. You choose a charity from a list that includes groups like Stand Up To Cancer, ASPCA, Habitat for Humanity and Feeding America, then start a walk, run or ride. Sponsors donate based on your miles.
You can also make a pledge page so friends can sponsor you, even without a race. Friends who sponsor you get entered into prize drawings from the app's sponsors. It syncs with Strava and Apple Health, so activity you track elsewhere can count.
It's not a detailed fitness tracker, and the Android version has a low rating on Google Play, with reviews pointing to bugs. On iPhone it's rated much better. If giving back is what gets you out the door, it's a lovely reason to walk.
