Karen’s Opinion

Springtime is when everything has a chance to be renewed. I have been working hard to keep walking and get into shape. Bumble Bee Foods has made it easier for me to keep track of how much I walk by giving me a neat website to record my “BeeWell Miles “. Besides having a place to be accountable for my progress, I am able to check game codes from pink Bumble Bee cans to see if I qualify to win one of 15,000 prizes!! If that doesn’t keep me motivated, I don’t know what can!

At the Bumble Bee Foods website, there is a place where I can talk with others who are trying to get healthy too. They have given me tips and motivation and make me feel as if I have partners in my quest. It is fun to compare notes and get ideas for healthy eating and exercise.

Bumble Bee Foods is aware of the fight to find a cure for breast cancer and has gone above and beyond to help fund the research for tomorrow’s cure. They are also aware that some are in the throes of breast cancer and need support during their fight. From 4/1/09-10/31/09, Bumble Bee Foods will donate $0.15/mile for every mile logged at BeeWellMiles.com (up to $200,000) to the Breast Cancer Network of Strength.

Check out the website to see how you can join others in becoming healthier and help others in their fight against breast cancer.

Speaking of great causes…Bumble Bee Foods is having a wonderful promotion to spur those of us who need a boost to do something to fund finding the cure for breast cancer. By joining thousands of walkers, you can, log in at BeeWellMiles.com, record the amount of miles you walk, and raise money for the Breast Cancer Network of Strength.

How does this work? From 4/1/09-10/31/09 Bumble Bee Foods will donate $0.15/mile for every mile logged at BeeWellMiles.com. That means for every mile I walk or run, I will be helping to raise funds for a wonderful cause. I need to exercise so why not add to the reason I walk and give it a special meaning. The website allows me to get great ideas from healthy living experts and have a place to log my miles. It will be fun to see my BeeWell Miles turn into a donation from Bumble Bee Foods. They are donating up to $200,000! Just think what a difference my walking will make. I will get into better shape too. What if I got my card club and other friends to do this? Just think what a difference we could make in the amount of money raised for this great project. Check it out! (Don’t make fun of my white legs!)
