The Extra Mile - The Official Charity Miles Podcast

In this is a special and very important interview, I walk with Julia Vitarello in Boulder, Colorado. Julia is fighting a fight that none of us would ever want to fight. Her young daughter Mila has Batten Disease, a rare and fatal neurodegenerative disease. It is especially brutal because it is so rare that Julia and her family have almost nobody to turn to for help.

But they have a ray of hope because, through Julia's tireless efforts, she was able to get a clinical trial approved through Harvard University in Boston Children's Hospital. Now they need to raise the money in order for the trial to go forward.

Which is why we're putting out a beacon to let Mila, Julia and their family know that we've got their backs. If you're as moved by their story as I am, please click here to visit their GoFundMe page to make a donation. If we all make a small donation, we can all make a big impact.

I know we all have a lot of causes that are calling for our attention and our donations. And I know it seems impossible to support all of them. But we can make a difference for this one. So, please, walk a mile with Julia, Mila and their family in your heart. And please make a donation to support their clinical trial.

Thanks everyone. #EveryMileMatters!

We are so thrilled to welcome you to the new Charity Miles podcast, The Extra Mile. In each episode, I'll be interviewing someone who is going the extra mile for health, and to make an impact.

But unlike other podcasts, I don't record these interviews in a fancy studio or on the phone. Instead, I meet each person where they are, and record the interview on an actual walk or run with them. We hope that you'll put in your earphones, turn on your Charity Miles and come along for the walk or run with us.

So far, we've recorded interviews with ten amazing people. We'll be releasing five episodes to start, and then about one a week. So please subscribe to the podcast and tell your friends.

Also, if you like the podcast or have any suggestions or questions, please leave a review in iTunes (or whatever service you use for podcasts). We'll try to answer your questions in future episodes. And since we really appreciate your feedback, we'll randomly award some T-Shirts to people who leave reviews.

Finally, I just have to say that this has been one of the most fun things I've ever done. My favorite thing about Charity Miles is all of the amazing people I've been able to meet on this journey. I'm so excited to share some of their stories with all of you.

Thanks again for listening, and all of your support. #EveryMileMatters!
