Charity Miles turns your workout into a charitable donation

This free app for Android and iOS lets you earn money for worthy causes when you walk, bike, or run.

CNET - Need some extra motivation to get off the couch and lace up the ol' running shoes? If losing weight and improving your health won't do the trick, how about helping those in need?

Charity Miles is a free app (Android|iOS) that donates money to charity based on your physical activity: walking, biking, or running. In other words, instead of merely exercising for yourself, now you're exercising for others.

The app is a basic distance monitor that relies on your phone's GPS to track your mileage. You simply choose from the three possible activities, then swipe to select from a variety of very worthy causes: Autism Speaks, Feeding America, The Michael J. Fox Foundation, Stand Up to Cancer, and so on.   More   PTG
