HER Helmet Thursdays means that Hotels, Educational attractions, Entertainment venues, and Restaurants encourage bicycling by giving a discount to cyclists on Thursdays. Just walk in with your helmet and ask to the HER discount, It's that simple.

HER helmet Thursdays is a community service project of Fine Wordworking. Neither the cyclists nor the businesses/organizations pay any fee to participate. It’s a voluntary partnership between them, facilitated by the introduction of this project.

For more information visit the HER website at http://www.herhelmetthursdays.com

While racing cyclocross this season I had the privilege to race against the co-counter of the +3 Network Joe Fabris. Joe is a nice guy with a great vision for fund raising. The information below is from the +3 website. If you run, ride, or do anything active check out the website to see how you can help charities in need.

Plus 3 Network is a mobile, GPS-enhanced social network that connects people with corporate sponsors and worthwhile causes on a lasting journey of personal fitness and charitable giving.

Making It Count. With the Plus 3 Network, we let you turn every step, every hour in the gym, every stroke in the pool into a fund raising 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. Values are placed on Activity based on either distance covered - like per mile for a run, or time logged - like per hour of Yoga. We have over 30 different sports and each pays a little different. And when we can validate a workout, through technology like a GPS, you earn even more.
