Dear
Team,
Please join me in welcoming
Lifeway to the Charity Miles family! They're our
newest sponsor, and we're thrilled to have them on board.
For those that
don't know, Lifeway makes
Kefir, a delicious cultured dairy drink that is
similar to yogurt, but way healthier. They've also been a longtime supporter of
the running community, which makes sense as Kefir is a great post-workout
recovery drink. I've been a fan for years!
Needless to say, I was
delighted to meet Lifeway's CEO, Julie Smolyansky, at SXSW last month. It was
there that I learned Julie is an avid Charity Miler who regularly logs miles
Every Mother Counts. She's even on their Marathon Team!
Two weeks ago,
Julie ran the Boston Marathon for EMC. She was
half a mile from the finish line when she was diverted by safety
personnel.
Fortunately, Julie and her family are safe. But like all of
us, they were greatly moved by the compassion and heroism shown that day. And
like all of us, Julie and Lifeway want to do something to help the victims.
So for the next two weeks, Lifeway will be sponsoring Charity
Miles.
But that's not all. For every mile you walk, run, or bike using
the app, Lifeway will donate
an additional 25¢ per
mile to
The One Fund Boston (up to $10,000).
We're calling this the #BostonStrong10k. So let's get after it! And,
please join me in thanking
Lifeway for their generous support!
All
the best,
Gene
