EVERY STEP COUNTS
An innovative student-led multi-schools initiative promoting physical activity, friendly competition and charitable mindset.
Over the course of two weeks, in October 2025, students from participating schools will walk, run, or bike on their own time to support the charities they care about.
Using the BetterMiles app, every mile students complete is tracked and automatically converted into a donation to charity—paid for by generous sponsors (not by the students) —based on a set price per mile.
The challenge also sparks friendly competition within and across schools, motivating students to go further together while making a real impact.

“This challenge is all about having fun, competing as a team, and turning every mile into something meaningful !
For our first edition, we’re bringing together students from a a handful of schools in New York and Miami to compete. Over time, we hope many more schools will join the challenge so that we can make an even bigger impact together!
A huge thank you to all our sponsors who have embraced our vision and made this challenge possible—we couldn't do it without you!"
