"Miles for Myles"


My Service gift this year is for Myles.
You have always been an active person and I admire that about you! All of your hobbies include something physical whether it is surfing, skiing, running, biking or playing sports with your kids, you always seem to find the fun in it. I know you love and appreciate the outdoors and most of the hobbies you love are outdoors.
 I have been pregnant this past year so I decided to start your service project over the next coming year. So, here is what it is:
Over the next year I am going to walk/run/bike to raise money for the Nature Conservancy in your name. The Nature Conservancy is an organization that protects fresh water, oceans and conservation lands. http://www.nature.org My goal is to raise $150. That means it would be a minimum of 10 miles a week for 52 weeks! For each mile I walk or Run “Charity Miles” http://www.charitymiles.org will donate .25 to the Nature Conservancy. Maybe I will be able to do more? Who knows? So how it works is I have an App on my phone that becomes a GPS Pedometer. It will track my miles and then donate the money!

This will be a fun challenge and I will let you know my progress along the way. Love you Myles!
