Welcome to Something for Nothing

BeeWell Miles is supported by Bumble Bee Foods to raise money for Breast Cancer. Bumble Bee Foods will donate $0.15 for every mile to the Breast Cancer Network of Strength (with a maximum of $200,000).

I wore my pedometer from the minute I got out of bed in the morning until the time I went to bed that night. I walked 2.11 miles, which included normal daily activities, going to school, going to work, and taking my dog for a walk. Below you will find a picture of my dog and I before our walk.

I raised $0.31 for doing the things I normally do everyday; nothing extra. If I were to do this everyday, in a weeks time I would raise over $2.00. Imagine if I were able to get my family to participate in this event. As a family we would raise, on average, over $8.00 a week. It’s very simple and it is going towards a great cause; to provide emotional support to those who can’t wait for tomorrow’s cure.

I enjoyed wearing the pedometer, as it showed me how many miles I walk on a daily basis. I think it is also a great incentive for me to start walking more and to “bee” more healthy myself.
