Motivation, mainly the lack of it, is a big obstacle for many people when it comes to consistency with regular exercise. Add to that the daily requirements of life in general and it's easy to find yourself missing more workouts a week than you perform. For many people, putting others in front of themselves leaves little time for rewards like the benefits of exercise. Well, what if you knew that for every minute or mile that you exercised you were helping raise cash for a good cause, other than your own health? Would that motivate you to make time to exercise? Training for an event like a race is a great way to get yourself to commit to a regular routine. And often these events donate portions of the proceeds to charity by way of entry fees and/or participant fund-raising efforts. Now you can help support a handful of charitable organizations without spending any money or asking family and friends for sponsorships.

Basically, you sign up(for free), select a cause/sponsor combination, and start logging your activities. For every mile or minute of exercise you do, the organization you select receives a donation from its' corporate sponsor. You also have a chance to earn rewards for yourself.
