I have, on more than one occasion, seen individuals or organizations lose weight for charity. I definitely don’t claim the Fitlanthropist to be wholly original (of course, I’d like to think that certain aspects of it are ). If anyone out there is at all familiar with someone who is doing something similar to this, I am definitely interested in knowing. I’d love to get in touch, build a network, whatever…just to see how others are “getting healthy for a greater cause.” In fact, it might be nice to feature them here, too!

Seems to me that runners are often doing something along similar lines…raising money per mile run or something like that. And though it’s been quite some time since I’ve headed out to pound the pavement, I’m hoping I can get back in the swing of things…perhaps I’ll do the Couch-to-5k program again, as it seemed to be quite useful, not to mention pretty fun!
