Treadmill Fundraiser


My son participated in a fundraiser this weekend for one of his clubs. They had to get sponsors to pay for the time they could remain on a treadmill. They didn't have to go too fast, but it was all about constant walking and seeing how long they could stay on the treadmill. They did get to change places a few times during the day--no one was on ALL day long. I think they raised quite a bit, so they must have done a LOT of walking! I think this is a cool idea! When I was a teen, we had "walk-athons"--we were sponsored by the mile. This is a good idea when you can't use a large area for walking--sponsoring by the minute on the treadmill instead of by the mile on a trail. He had fun! This is also a GREAT way to stay in shape! :)
