Just choose a charity and get moving. The app uses GPS to measure your distance. Bikers earn 10¢ per mile; walkers and runners earn 25¢ per mile, all up to an initial $1,000,000 corporate sponsorship pool.
Follow the initiative with the hashtag #EveryMileMatters.
Participating charities include the Wounded Warrior Project, Feeding America, Habitat for Humanity, Stand Up to Cancer, Autism Speaks and the ASPCA, among many others.
