What is DailyMile?
DailyMile is a free site which allows runners/walkers to track their miles.
Through the site, users are able to log their mileage, map their route, encourage and motivate each other, and compete with friends!
As you track your mileage, you will be able to share your progress with your donors. It will be a tool to keep you accountable to your personal goals, your
donors and the cause.

How to Fundraise?
Commit to running/walking 30+ miles throughout the month of September.
Find people to donate to you per mile run/walked (i.e.- $.50 or a $1.00 per mile) or that will give you a general donation for your overall mileage. At the
end of the month, reach out to all of your donors and inform them of your mileage. Make sure to set a deadline for donations to be about a week before
the event so that you can make sure you have everything in order before the 5K on October 9, 2011.
