Want to do something for charity but don’t want to reach for the sponsorship form? Fear not. Samsung is asking you to run just one mile (or more). For every mile you run they will donate £1 to good causes.

In the UK that money goes to Kids’ Company, a really great charity supporting some of the UK’s most vulnerable children and young people. The app is free, Samsung donates the cash, you can’t say fairer than that.

You get to to create an avatar with your face, share your mileage through Facebook, get together (virtually) with your mates and create a team.

The app works on Android phones (sorry iPhone users) and works through GPS to track your miles. You don’t have to be in the UK: 20 countries are taking part and the money raised will go to local charities. So get your trainers on or get on your bike and Samsung will get giving.
