When you've hooked up with Plus 3 Network, that's when. If you click on the link, you'll find the following explanation of what the site is all about: "With the Plus 3 Network, we let you turn every step, every turn of the pedal, every stroke in the pool into a fundraising effort for a cause of your choice. We do this at no cost to you via the support of Corporate Sponsors - dedicated companies who care about the planet, about health and fitness, and about the things we can do together to make a difference. And as we said, this is all free to you. We've identified companies who want to support you as you get healthier, get social, and help others. All you need to do is choose a Cause/Sponsor combination and then get out there -- either solo or with friends-- and get going."
You can record your efforts by hand entry or GPS upload. An entry verifiable through GPS earns three times the funds that the same entry would do if it were entered by hand. If you read through the site's blurb about GPS versus hand entry, you'll see "Need a GPS? We can even help you get one." and a link to follow.
Their payout by activity type lists currently lists 39 activities, including aerobics and hockey, surfing and treadmill running among others. At the moment, open water swimming recorded by GPS upload will give you the best return at $0.78/mile, but just plain walking is not to be sneezed at, coming in at $0.39/mile. Get a friend to sign up with you and you can chat your way around your route, connecting and feeling good while you do something good for others. It just doesn't get any easier than this to raise funds for your favourite cause while you "get fit, get connected, and get results."

Hmmmm, Iit would be interesting if my hockey team this year would want to do that for Breast Cancer, if it was available ... I wonder if they accept team entries?
