It’s the season of giving thanks as well as giving help and like everything around us, the humane act of contributing too has stepped up to a new level, thanks to digital technology.
Our founder and CEO Gaurav (Rav) Mendiratta – who is an avid runner, recently witnessed the benevolent side of smart apps while participating with ‘Runners High With Bala’. A unique community that leverages long distance running as the medium to build a network of motivated, successful, compassionate and amazing human beings.
The community has identified a novel way that ensures its running events not only helps shape members into better versions of themselves but also transforms them into more giving human beings too. By tying up with Charity Miles – the creators of the Charity Miles App, RHWB now turns the collective miles run by members at each of its seasons into charity dollars that can be directed to a charity of choice. All this without taking a single dime out of any of its members’ wallets. Season 8 of RHWB helped generate close to $8000 in charity.
The world becomes a better place when we choose to give back, from time to time. If you’re a runner, you could always get your feet over to the upcoming season of Runners High With Bala to do your bit in charity. If you’re not a runner, look around for ways that will help you make a difference without breaking into a sweat.
Happy Thanksgiving, and keep giving!
