Today is one of our favorite days…Blog Action Day.

For the last couple years, >carrot has used Blog Action Day to highlight one of the many initiatives we take in order to do good in our office and in our world. However, this year we would like to take this opportunity to highlight the work of some fellow bloggers whom have inspired us to join their cause in ending poverty in the world while bettering ourselves personally.

The formula for Train For Humanity is simple:
getting fit + social media + blogging = social good.

Train for Humanity is a group of three bloggers whom have realized the power of social media as an important tool in raising awareness and funds for humanitarian projects all around the world. Beginning only a few months ago with its pilot program for Darfur Peace and Development projects, Train for Humanity involves bloggers from around the world by getting them to train for competitive running, swimming, biking, triathlons and other events all while blogging about training and event results.

What started as my own personal interest in the project as a running enthusiast soon became conversation around the office, and thus >carrot is thrilled to be some of the first members to join the Train for Humanity project. Once the program launches in the next few months, we will continue to update our training results as well as indicate which events we will be competing in. Hopefully, you will join us in our training, or at the very least, will help support this great cause to eradicate poverty by donating your time and resources to betting the initiative.
